About this episode
Let's talk about the potentially hazardous asteroid known as Apophis. In April, 2029 this 320 meter rock will get so close that it will pass under the orbit of geosynchronous satellites! Astronomers held a conference in late April of 2019 to discuss the science that can be done as it passes so close to the Earth.
