Apiophis, named after the God of Chaos, could have a potential impact on Earth in 2068. The potential strike would be equivalent to 880 million tons of trinitrotoluene (TNT) exploding at one time.
Astronomer Dave Tholen and his colleagues have confirmed the discovery of a small Yarkovsky accelerator on the planet’s surface.
The Yarkovsky effect occurs when a planet or celestial body changes its orbit due to small pressures.
This can be done either by expelling the gas or by the gravitational movement of celestial bodies, including the sun and the earth.
It can cause a slight thermal reaction that can alter the path of the asteroid.
The apogee was first observed by experts at the Kit Peak National Observatory in Arizona on June 19, 2004.
Astronomers discovered that the planet grew when they observed it with the Subaru Telescope earlier this year.
According to Mr. Tholan, the probability that Apophis will invade Earth in 2068 is one in 530,000.
Mr Thola said: “We have known for some time that impact with Earth is not possible in the near future of 2029.
“The new observations we received from the Subaru Telescope earlier this year were good enough to reveal the Yarkovsky acceleration of the Apophis, and they show that the planet is moving about 1 meter0 meters away from the orbit of gravity every year, which is enough to hold. 2068 performance view of the game. “
A statement from the University of Hawaii stated: “To maintain thermal balance, all asteroids need to heat the heat absorbed by sunlight, a process that slightly alters the asteroid’s orbit.”
“Before examining Yarkovsky’s acceleration on the Apophis, astronomers concluded that a potential impact on Earth in 2068 was impossible.
“Investigating this impact acting on Apophis means that the impact situation of 2068 is still a possibility.
“Further observations are ongoing to improve the amplitude of the yarrowxy effect and how it affects the orbit of the apophysis.
“Astronomers will know better before 2068 if there is any possibility of impact.”
The warning comes after NASA announced plans to launch a metal asteroid mission worth about, 7,700 quadrillion.
The planet, called 16 Psych, is about 140 miles in diameter and is Jupiter is one of the largest orbiting major asteroid belts between Mars.
Dr Tracy Baker, a planetary scientist at the Southwest Research Institute, said: “We’ve seen meteors that are mostly metal, but Saich may be unique in that it could be a planet made of iron and nickel.
