From Apophis’ Point of View
We’ve written a couple of times about the asteroid Apophis which, while unlikely to hit Earth, will make a very near pass of 18,300 miles above the planet’s surface in 2029. NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory just released an excellent animation of just how close Apophis will be when it passes by.
Wow for some reason 18,300 miles doesn’t seem quite as far anymore.
