Science & Exploration: Check Out the Globe With Research Study and Innovation
Key takeaways
- The asteroid Apophis will pass about 20,000 miles from Earth on April 13, 2029, closer than many satellites.
- NASA says there is no impact risk for at least 100 years after optical and radar observations refined Apophis' orbit.
