About this video

In April 2029, the Apophis asteroid will make a close flyby of Earth, coming within just 32,000 kilometers, closer than many satellites! While it won’t collide with Earth, this rare event gives scientists an incredible opportunity to study this asteroid in unprecedented detail. However, NASA’s mission to study Apophis, OSIRIS-APEX, is at risk of being canceled due to budget cuts. Will we lose this critical chance to gather vital data for planetary defense? Watch now to learn why this 2029 flyby matters for the future of space exploration and planetary defense.
