2 Billion People Will Witness This Massive Asteroid Fly Past Earth in 2029

WooGlobe

A massive 340-meter asteroid named Apophis — also known as the “God of Chaos” — will make an epic flyby of Earth on April 13, 2029… and it’ll be visible to the naked eye for over 2 billion people! :globe_showing_Europe-Africa::sparkles:  This rare space event happens only once every 7,500 years and will bring Apophis closer than some satellites, with zero danger to Earth. Scientists are calling it the ultimate natural experiment — a golden chance to study asteroid physics, gravity effects, and planetary defense in action.  Missions from NASA, ESA, and JAXA are already in motion to track and study this once-in-a-lifetime event. And for skywatchers across Africa and Western Europe — it’s going to be the greatest celestial show of our time.

00:00A giant space rock named after the god of chaos is heading straight toward Earth,

00:04and over two billion people will see it with their own eyes.

00:08On April 13, 2029, a Friday of course,

00:12a 340-meter asteroid named Apophis will zoom past Earth,

00:16closer than our satellites. But don't worry, there's zero danger.

00:20This is a once-in-7,500-year event, and it's happening in our lifetime.

00:24Apophis was once feared to hit us. Now, it's the biggest

00:28space show in human history. For context, four times more people

00:32will see this than watch the moon landing live. Scientists have spent

00:3620 years tracking it with precision. It'll pass just 5.9

00:40Earth-radi away, close enough for spacecraft to study how Earth's

00:44gravity and magnetic field affect it. This isn't just science fiction.

00:48It's planetary science in action. Missions from NASA, Europe,

00:52and Japan are all gearing up to chase Apophis before and after it passes by.

00:56And the best part? It'll be visible to the naked eye across

01:00Africa and Western Europe.

01:02So mark your calendars. April 13,

01:042029. No danger.

01:06Just history. And remember

01:08what one scientist said.

01:10Apophis will safely pass the Earth.

01:12Three times. Just to be sure.

01:14of course to share 4.

01:30The 좌�cマen messunal is näched.

01:32The score isaquil.

01:34The score is left to the weaknesses in the water.
