BBC NEWS | Science/Nature | UK plan to track asteroid threat: "Apophis caused some consternation in 2004 when initial observations suggested it might hit Earth in 2029. Further study by ground-based telescopes indicated there was virtually no chance of this happening, and the expectation is that the object will whiz past the Earth at a close but comfortable distance of just under 36,000km (22,400 miles)."
