Asteroid Apophis will pass 32,000 km from Earth in 2029, Nasa says
In 2029, asteroid Apophis is set to make a close approach to Earth, presenting scientists with an exceptional chance for observation. NASA's OSIRIS-APEX spacecraft will investigate how this encounter influences Apophis's gravitational dynamics and trajectory. The event is expected to cause significant changes in the asteroid’s orbit and spin, providing valuable insights into the behavior of other S-type asteroids that may pose risks to our planet.
