Will Apophis hit Earth? ☄️ #shorts
Twenty years ago, astronomers discovered Apophis, an asteroid once feared to collide with Earth in 2029. Thanks to incredible advancements in science, the threat is now ruled out.
However, Apophis will still pass closer than some satellites currently orbiting Earth and will be visible with the naked eye.
This rare event is a great opportunity to study Apophis up close and prepare for future asteroid encounters.

NASA’s OSIRIS-APEX (formerly OSIRIS-REx) is currently scheduled to fly by Apophis in June 2029. Hopefully, ESA, JAXA, ISRO and other space agencies will also send missions there.
Starfleet should have the enterprise comeback to tractor it outta orbit.
We need an asteroid defense system and fast.
It's funny they say in the same breath, that there is no risk to hitting earth and you'll be able to see it with the naked eye 😮

Great job ESA
In 2029 when people will be able to see Apophis from the ground in broad daylight with their own eyes, they'll start to realize the gravity of our planet being in a cosmic pinball machine.
It would have been pretty funny if the answer was yes and the way we all would have found out were going to die was this short
Staggering how many rogue asteroids that have been discovered in the past 20yrs now we have better tech.
