An animation shows asteroid 99942 Apophis's close approach to Earth in 2029, coming within 32,000 km, but NASA assures there is no impact risk for at least the next 100 years, and the event will provide valuable scientific opportunities.
A group of international space missions, including NASA's OSIRIS-APEX, ESA's Ramses, and JAXA's DESTINY+, are preparing to study the near-Earth asteroid Apophis during its close approach in April 2029, aiming to better understand its properties and potential impact risk.
An asteroid named Apophis, about 340 meters in size, will safely pass Earth in April 2029 at a distance closer than geosynchronous satellites, offering a rare opportunity for scientific observation and public viewing, with potentially up to two billion people able to see it with the naked eye. Despite its classification as potentially hazardous, it poses no threat to Earth, and this event is seen as a valuable natural experiment for planetary science and defense.
