A new study posits that our planet's gravity will cause seismic activity on Apophis when it makes its close approach in 2029.

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 ...

When the 'God of chaos' asteroid Apophis makes an ultraclose flyby of Earth in 2029, our planet's gravity may trigger tremors and landslides that totally change the asteroid's surface.

According to "Wyborcza," Apophis will pass our planet at a distance of only 20,000 miles. Scientists at the European Space ...

In a close encounter that may reshape its very structure, the asteroid Apophis is expected to experience dramatic surface changes when it passes near Earth on April 13, 2029. According to new research ...

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 ...

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 ...

NASA is also redirecting its OSIRIS-REx spacecraft, now renamed OSIRIS-APEX, to Apophis. Although it will arrive roughly one month after the asteroid’s Earth flyby, the combined efforts of ...
