According to Choustov, in 2029, Apophis asteroids will glide across the Earth with a distance of 38,000 to 40,000km. Errors can be as high as 10,000km.
But a more serious threat will stalk Earth in 2036, when Apophis flies near our planet. However, according to the Russian researcher, the probability of collisions is still ' low ' at this time.
Asteroid named ' Apophis ', the dark god and chaos in Egyptian mythology, is 320m long. This asteroid was discovered in June 2004.
