Will Apophis hit Earth? ☄️

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.
