An asteroid named after the Egyptian god of evil that was tipped to smash into the Earth in 2068 has been demoted.

New measurements by astronomers show the 350m-wide Apophis won't hit us anytime in the next century, so it's being taken off the European Space Agency's notorious Risk List of potential civilisation-destroying asteroids.
