The asteroid is almost as wide as the Empire State Building is tall and could be visible to the naked eye.
The odds of a dangerous asteroid strike are very low, but don't panic just yet.
The chances of a roughly 3-meter -wide asteroid hitting the asteroid are 1 in 2 billion .
Apophis is unlikely to live up to its fearsome name in 2029 by impacting Earth .
Plans are already being hatched to use spacecraft and satellites to rendezvous with the asteroid.
