On Friday night at 8:15 p.m. ET, the space rock will come incredibly near Earth's surface. That is on numerous occasions the distance among Earth and the moon.But Apophis' next close flyby, on April 13, 2029, will bring the space rock inside 19,000 miles of Earth - that is in our planet and the moon. It will be the closest any space rock of Apophis' size has come to Earth's surface that specialists have known about quite a bit early, as shown by NASA .

 

That future technique will even be close adequate that the space rock could bang into high-rise correspondences satellites surrounding Earth.

Preparing for Apophis' return

 

Apophis won't be observable to the independent eye this evening - you'd require a telescope with at least a foot-long estimation to see it. Regardless, Rome's Virtual Telescope Project is offering a web seeing gathering at 7 p.m. ET.

 

The space rock's disclosure caused gradually expanding influences in 2004, not set in stone at the time that there was a little open door it could hit the planet in 2029. NASA analysts have since changed that measure .

 

"We have known for a really long time that a contact with Earth is impossible during the 2029 close strategy," Dave Tholen, a researcher at the University of Hawai'i Institute for Astronomy who tracked down Apophis, said in October .

 

Each time a space rock approaches Earth, it's a chance for stargazers to focus on the space rock and learn about its shape and wind.
