When it was discovered in June of 2004, it was given the name &#8220;Apophis&#8221;.\u00a0At the time, it was predicted that there was 2.7 percent chance that the asteroid would do what it&#8217;s namesake failed to accomplish, and hit Earth in 2029. Later it was said the chance is even less.\u00a0Now that he&#8217;s back in the news, it is said that\u00a0Apophis has only a 1 on in 45,000 chance of colliding with Earth, but it will then be back for another shot seven years after that.<\/div>\n<div class=\"articleTxt smallText\">Interestingly, astronomers aren&#8217;t able to determine what kind of threat Apophis\u00a0 will pose when it passes by us in 2036 because its orbit will be bent by gravity during its 2029 flyby, Discovery reported.<\/div>\n<div class=\"articleTxt smallText\">Surely Stargate fan&#8217;s aren&#8217;t worried though, right?
