“In April 2029, humanity will witness a once-in-a-lifetime event. The asteroid Apophis — known as the ‘God of Chaos’ — will pass so close to Earth that up to two billion people will see it with the naked eye.”
“Apophis is a massive asteroid, about 340 meters across. When it was discovered back in 2004, scientists feared it could actually hit Earth. But now we know: there is absolutely no danger
On April 13, 2029 — yes, that’s a Friday the 13th — Apophis will sweep past Earth at just 5.9 Earth radii. That’s closer than our geostationary satellites!
People across Africa and parts of Europe will be able to look up and see this cosmic visitor without telescopes. For comparison, only about 500 million people watched Neil Armstrong walk on the Moon. Apophis? Two billion. This is going to be one of the biggest space events in human history.
And for scientists, it’s an incredible opportunity. Missions like Europe’s RAMSES, Japan’s DESTINY+, and NASA’s OSIRIS-APEX will study how Earth’s gravity changes Apophis’ orbit and surface. Researchers call this a “final exam” for planetary defense — a real-life test of our ability to understand and protect Earth from space rocks.”

“So remember the date: April 13, 2029. Apophis will pass Earth — safely, but spectacularly. A cosmic show that may only happen once in human history.”
