"Apophis flyby in 2029 will be the first time a potentially hazardous asteroid has been visible to the naked eye" by @LiveScience@flipboard.com - #Asteroid #99942Apophis will make a close pass by Earth on April 13, 2029. Earth will not be affected. But scientists are gearing up to observe how Earth's gravity changes the orbit of the asteroid, and possibly deforms its shape. There's so much to learn for #PlanetaryDefense / #PlanetaryDefence for the future. https://www.livescience.com/space/asteroids/apophis-flyby-in-2029-will-be-the-first-time-a-potentially-hazardous-asteroid-has-been-visible-to-the-naked-eye #astronomy #LowFlyingRocks
