    The Sentry Risk Table assessed Apophis as having a 6.7-in-a-million (1-in-150,000) chance of impacting Earth in 2068, and a 9-in-a-million (1-in-110,000) cumulative chance of impacting Earth by 2105.

    Source: Wikipedia
    Do you realize that your Source is so unreliable? It's being edited as you speak. I'm not saying what I've said in the earlier post is ABSOLUTELY accurate. Just saying that Wiki or Nasa is not your best friend. They just maintain the status quo. NASA has done so many sneaky stuff to hide the truth about Moon, Mars etc. They edit out all the anomalies they photograph on those planets and moons. For example, Nasa air-brushed out the ET/human colonies they photographed on the darkside of the moon -- it's a well known fact exposed by an Nasa insider. So these lies goes straight to Wikipedia. And we regard it as the ultimate source for truth. Wake up!

    p.s. Friday the 13th NASA missed the asteroid that approached the closest to the Earth ever in history. That's how careless Nasa is. So what do you expect from these corporate agencies and websites which perpetuating their lies?

    As mentioned in the previous post by @Stimulus mind

    Scientists believe they may have discovered the first known planet outside of our own galaxy. The "possible exoplanet" - which has been found in the spiral galaxy Messier 51, also known as the Whirlpool Galaxy - is 28 million light years away.

    It is thousands of times further than any other exoplanet previously found in the Milky Way. It was detected by the Chandra X-ray Observatory, a NASA space telescope that is 86,000 miles away from the Earth.

    The new discovery, which is "roughly the size of Saturn", has been listed under the name M51-1 and been hailed as a breakthrough in the hunt for distant planets. "We are trying to open up a whole new arena for finding other worlds by searching for planet candidates at X-ray wavelengths, a strategy that makes it possible to discover them in other galaxies," said Rosanne Di Stefano of the Center for Astrophysics, who led the study that was published in Nature Astronomy.

    Chandra detects X-ray emissions from very hot areas of the universe and the new result was based on transits, which happen when a planet passes in front of a star.
