美国宇航局证实小行星阿波菲斯将于2029年4月13日安全地通过地球, NASA confirms the asteroid Apophis will safely pass Earth on April 13, 2029, coming within 20,000 miles—closer than many satellites and visible to the naked eye. 虽然最初的担忧表明可能会有撞击,但广泛的雷达和望远镜观测已经排除了至少在下个世纪任何威胁, 这为科学研究这个物体提供了一个罕见的机会. While initial concerns suggested a potential impact, extensive radar and telescope observations have ruled out any threat for at least the next century, presenting a rare scientific opportunity to study the object.
