Apophis Asteroid Flyby in 2029: Earth's Gravitational May Impact Asteroid's Surface
- Thursday November 14, 2024
- Written by Gadgets 360 Staff
Asteroid 99942 Apophis, named after the ancient Egyptian god of darkness, is set to pass incredibly close to Earth in 2029, at just 32,000 km. While there is no risk of a collision, scientists are keen to study the asteroid’s interaction with Earth's gravity. Research led by planetary scientist Ronald Ballouz suggests that this flyby may cause si...

Asteroid Apophis Could Experience Surface Changes Due to Earth’s Gravity During 2029 Flyby
- Wednesday November 6, 2024
- Written by Gadgets 360 Staff
The asteroid Apophis, named after the ancient Egyptian god of chaos, is set to pass extremely close to Earth in 2029, potentially causing seismic activity and landslides on its surface due to Earth's gravity. These changes could alter Apophis’ surface, providing a rare opportunity to observe asteroid dynamics in real-time. A team from Johns Hopki...

A Snowman-Shaped Asteroid Tumbles Past Earth at Incredible Speed
- Friday September 27, 2024
- Written by Gadgets 360 Staff
Asteroid 2024 ON, a large, two-lobed object, passed safely by Earth on Sept. 17, 2024. Resembling a snowman in shape, the asteroid’s radar images were captured by NASA’s Goldstone Solar System Radar. Despite being classified as a potentially hazardous asteroid, 2024 ON did not pose a threat to Earth, passing at a distance of over 620,000 miles....

Asteroid Apophis May Still Have a Small Chance of Hitting Earth in 2029, Study Reveals
- Friday September 13, 2024
- Written by Gadgets 360 Staff
Recent simulations suggest a very small chance that asteroid Apophis could be deflected onto a collision course with Earth before its close approach in 2029. Although current data points to a safe pass, the risk remains, especially if another space object were to strike Apophis. The odds are extremely low, but a final verdict won’t be available u...

Asteroid 2023 BU Just Passed a Few Thousand Kilometres From Earth. Here's Why That's Exciting
- Saturday January 28, 2023
- The Conversation
Asteroid 2023 BU passed only about 3,600 km from the surface of Earth on January 27. That distance is just slightly farther than the distance between Perth and Sydney and is only about 1 per cent the distance between Earth and our Moon. This makes 2023 BU the fourth-closest known asteroid encounter with Earth.

- Edited by Richa Sharma
On its way to the space rocks Trojans, NASA's Lucy probe observed its smallest asteroid target named Polymele, which was expected to pass in front of a star. As the asteroid passed, it blocked the star briefly allowing astronomers to observe the star blink along with another object. Located some 200km from Polymele, astronomers think that is likely...
