Asteroid Apophis to Experience Quakes During 2029 Earth Flyby
TL;DR Summary
The asteroid Apophis, known as the 'God of Chaos,' is expected to pass within 19,000 miles of Earth on April 13, 2029, potentially causing 'astroquakes' due to Earth's gravitational pull. While the risk of collision is extremely low, NASA's Osiris-Apex mission will study the asteroid's physical changes during this close encounter. Apophis's flyby could provide insights into asteroid surface changes and aid in developing future planetary defense strategies.
