Additional observations provided improved predictions that eliminated the possibility of an impact on Earth in 2029. Until 2006, a small probability nevertheless remained that, during its 2029 close encounter with Earth, Apophis would pass through a gravitational keyhole of no more than about 800 metres (1⁄2 mi) in diameter, which would have set up a future impact exactly seven years later on April 13, 2036. What would happen if Apophis hit Earth? Apophis would cause widespread destruction from its impact site. The energy released
