Russian scientists are preparing a space mission to study the asteroid “Apophis,” which will approach Earth on April 13, 2029, coming within approximately 32,000 kilometers of its surface. This rare astronomical event will provide researchers with a unique opportunity to observe the effect of Earth's gravity on celestial bodies. The mission aims to monitor potential changes in the asteroid’s structure and movement. Data collected will aid in developing methods for predicting the risks posed by asteroids. The study is critical for understanding potential future impacts and refining planetary defense strategies. The mission’s details were reported by Hespress - هسبريس جريدة إلكترونية مغربية, a Moroccan online newspaper.
