Path Along Earth Where Apophis Astroid Will Be Visible on April 13, 2029

This animation shows the path along Earth where Apophis will be visible on April 13, 2029. As the asteroid passes over the Atlantic ocean, its path briefly turns from red to grey – that is the moment of closest approach. After closest approach, the asteroid will move into the daytime sky and will no longer be visible.
