asteroid epofus is coming back to make an extremely close approach to Earth on April 13 2029 this asteroid will be 10 times closer to Earth than the moon this means it will be closer than satellites orbiting in the geostationary belt hence it will become bright enough to be visible to the naked eye from some parts of the world however being so close to Earth it will experience a notable impact from the Earth's gravity that will alter its path this will make the asteroid pass through what's called a gravitational Keyhole which can lead to a potential
but still very unlikely impact in 2068 this means that the apophis's close approach of 2029 is not something to be feared but something to embrace as it will allow us to study the Rock in detail to learn more about physics and astronomy follow the secrets of the universe
