When discovered, it was considered a serious threat to Earth, but since then refined predictions have ruled out any impact risk for the next 100 years. This will be the closest approach of an asteroid this size scientists have predicted.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Apophis |url=https://science.nasa.gov/solar-system/asteroids/apophis/ |website=NASA}}</ref>
