[00:00:00]The asteroid's name is Apophis, 340 m wide, large enough to erase a city the size of Paris.

[00:00:08]When astronomers first ran the numbers, they gave it a 1 in 37 chance of impact.

[00:00:15]The internet [music] panicked. Scientists went quiet. For 72 hours, [music] this was the most terrifying number in all of astronomy.
