2024年12月20日 · When Apophis made a distant flyby of Earth around March 5, 2021, astronomers took the opportunity to use powerful radar observations to refine the estimate of its orbit around the Sun with extreme precision, enabling them to confidently rule out any impact risk in 2068 and long after.

The closest known approach of Apophis occurs on April 13, 2029, at 21:46 UT, when Apophis will pass Earth at a distance of about 31,600 kilometres (19,600 mi) above the surface.

2024年11月6日 · An asteroid the size of the Empire State Building, named Apophis, could potentially hit Earth in 2029, but scientists consider the chance extremely small.

2024年12月28日 · A near-Earth asteroid, about 1,100 feet (340 meters) in diameter, Apophis will make a dramatic approach on April 13, 2029. It will then fly by at a distance of 19,000 miles (31,000 kilometers) above Earth's surface, closer than many geostationary satellites.

2024年11月27日 · On April 13, 2029, they predicted Apophis will come within 19,400 miles (31,200 kilometers) of Earth. This will be the closest approach of an asteroid of this size that humankind has ever experienced and will place Apophis between the earth and Earth’s geostationary satellites, as it passes.

2024年5月10日 · In just under half a decade, a 1,000-foot-wide (305-meter-wide) asteroid named after the Egyptian god of chaos and destruction, Apophis, will pass within 30,000 miles (48,300 kilometers) of...

2021年3月26日 · Estimated to be about 1,100 feet (340 meters) across, Apophis quickly gained notoriety as an asteroid that could pose a serious threat to Earth when astronomers predicted that it would come uncomfortably close in 2029.

2024年11月7日 · In 2029, Apophis will pass closer to Earth than most near-Earth objects of its size ever do, making it a unique opportunity for scientists to study the effects of Earth’s gravity on an asteroid. Apophis measures about 1,000 feet in …

2019年4月29日 · This animation shows the path along Earth where Apophis will be visible on April 13, 2029. As the asteroid passes over the Atlantic ocean, its path briefly turns from red to grey – that is the moment of closest approach.

2022年5月31日 · The exercise focused on the real asteroid Apophis. For a short while after its discovery in 2004, Apophis was assessed to have a significant chance of impacting Earth in 2029 or later.
