Asteroid projected for 2029
What’s the name of the asteroid that’s going to fly pretty close to Earth in 2029? Is it … A.) Apophis, B.) Halley, C.) Kimster or D.) Eros? Make your best guess, and bonus points if you also know how many miles above Earth it’ll be.
☄️ The answer: A.) Apophis. On April 13, 2029, the asteroid will pass just 19,000 miles above Earth’s surface, marking one of the closest fly-bys of an asteroid this large in recorded history. While there’s no risk of impact then, its closeness will allow astronomers to study it in more detail.
