A new report from the University of Hawaii’s Institute for Astronomy indicates that a 1,000-foot-wide asteroid called Apophis may pass very close to Earth in 2068.

Per Gizmodo, the Palermo Technical Impact Hazard Scale "suggests there’s a 1 in 150,000 chance of Apophis hitting Earth on April 12, 2068.".

Their research reveals that while it won’t hit our planet then, the large asteroid will come very close during its April 13, 2029 approach, instead passing between Earth and a network of communication satellites.
