Apophis to impact Earth?
Asteroid Apophis (Greek for the Egyptian god, meaning destroyer),
number 99942, first identified in 2004 and designated 2004 MN4, was recently predicted to pass by Earth in April 2013 and 2021, extremely close to Earth in April 2029, (within approximately 15,000 miles), and possibly impact Earth in April 2035 or 2036. http://www.howtheworldwillend.com/apophis.htm
