Radar images of Apophis obtained during its 2021 flyby. (NASA/JPL-Caltech and NSF/AUI/GBO) 99942 Apophis is a cheeky one. Upon its discovery in 2004, scientists calculated the the 335-meter (1,100 ...

To find out, they conducted modeling of the 2029 99942 Apophis flyby of Earth. We don't really know what shape the asteroid has, but what data we have obtained suggest that it is bi-lobed, perhaps a ...

It will then fly low over Apophis's surface and fire its engines, disturbing the rocks and dust that cover the asteroid to reveal the layer underneath. A close flyby of an asteroid as large as ...
