Apophis 2029 Flyby 3D Explorer vs alternatives
Apophis 2029 Flyby 3D Explorer turns the real 13 April 2029 close-approach figures into a draggable 3D scene you can compare against Earth's geostationary ring - NASA JPL CNEOS close-approach tables win for the authoritative published source data; news coverage wins for visibility and viewing-location context.
| Option | Strength | Access | Trade-off |
|---|---|---|---|
| Apophis 2029 Flyby 3D Explorer (this page) | Interactive day-by-day distance readout against the geostationary ring, in one 3D scene | Free, in browser | Simplified straight-line path, not a gravitational simulation |
| NASA JPL CNEOS close-approach tables | Authoritative, continuously updated published figures | Free, published reference | No interactive 3D scene |
| News coverage | Viewing-location and visibility context (naked-eye magnitude ~3 over Africa, Europe, western Asia) | Free articles | No distance-vs-time interactivity |
Key published figures
| Figure | Value |
|---|---|
| Close approach date | 13 April 2029 |
| Minimum distance | about 31,600 km (about 19,600 miles) from Earth's surface |
| Diameter | about 340-450 m (radar-refined estimate about 375 m) |
| Impact risk | ruled out for at least the next 100 years |
