....Down from 1 in 45,000 to 1 in 450 After Being Corrected by 13yo

The chances of the asteroid Apophis impacting earth have been revised down from 1 in 45,000 to 1 in 450 after NASA informed the ESA that a 13-year-old schoolboy from Germany had taken a factor they had missed into account in a science project. The asteroid will pass within 32,500 kilometres of earth on April 13, 2029. The schoolboy, Nico Marquardt, factored in the chance that Apophis would collide with one or more satellites orbiting at up to nearly 36,000 kilometres in altitude. The possibility of the collision increases the odds that the asteroid will crash into the Atlantic Ocean in 2036. If the 200 billion tonne iridium and iron asteroid hits earth it will create massive tsunamis and darken the sky with dust for years.
