Top: collisions of Apophis clones with the Sun, Mercury, Venus, Earth, or Mars. Their positions in the ecliptic frame (x, y) are indicated (crosses), alongside the mean orbital distances of terrestrial planets (dotted circles). Bottom: statistics of collisions. Specifically, (45 ± 2)% of the clones were eliminated due to low perihelion (q < R⊙), while (50 ± 2)% due to planetary impacts. The respective uncertainties (error bars) are Poissonian (∝ √N).
