Paragraph 2
The scientists used
to predict the asteroid's orbit. A NASA scientist said: "We were able to acquire
precise information about its
to an accuracy of about 150 meters." She said Apophis is now "a
distance of 10.6 million miles away from Earth". However, it will come
in 2029. It will come within 20,000 miles of Earth in
year. Another scientist was glad Apophis is no longer
. He said: "There's a
sense of
to see it removed from the risk
, and we're looking forward to the science we might uncover."
