I heard that a asteroid is heading to earth is that true?

You're probably thinking about an asteroid named Apophis which will p -- not hit -- Earth on April 13th, 2029. It won't come any closer than 22,000 miles to Earth's surface then whiz back out into space.(Astronomy Magazine, April 2008, page 14) Its next close approach will be in 2036 when there's a 1 in 45,000 chance it will impact Earth.(a href="http://neo.jpl.nasa.gov/cgi-bin/ip?2.2e-05)" rel="nofollow"http://neo.jpl.nasa.gov/cgi-bin/ip?2.2e-…/a
