Giant 'God of Darkness' Asteroid May Not Escape Earth

'God of Chaos' asteroid will pass so close to Earth it will experience 'astroquakes'
A massive asteroid will experience earthquake-like tremors when it makes a historic close approach to Earth in 2029, according to new research. The 340-metre asteroid Apophis, named after the Egyptian god of darkness and chaos,
Giant 'God of Darkness' Asteroid May Not Escape Earth Unscathed
An asteroid named for the ancient Egyptian god of darkness and disorder may not pose a hazard to Earth, but that does not mean Earth is not a hazard to it. When asteroid 99942 Apophis flies closely past Earth in 2029, the gravitational interaction between the two bodies is likely to dramatically alter the asteroid's surface.
