NASA has confirmed that the massive asteroid Apophis, known as the “God of Chaos,” will pass so closely by Earth that it will slip beneath many satellites’ orbits.
The asteroid is expected to be visible to the naked eye, offering a rare and potentially unsettling spectacle for millions worldwide. Read on to learn when it will arrive and why scientists view this historic flyby as vital for planetary defense.
A massive asteroid named Apophis is set to make a record-breaking flyby of Earth, coming closer than any similar object in recorded history. At 1,230 feet, Apophis is significantly larger than the 1,083-foot Eiffel Tower.
NASA reports that the asteroid known as the “God of Chaos” will pass safely near Earth on Friday, April 13, 2029. During this flyby, Apophis will be visible to the naked eye as it approaches within 20,000 miles of the Earth’s surface.
The asteroid will be nearly 12 times closer to us than the moon, passing inside the altitude of many high-flying satellites. The scientific community sees this as a significant moment for planetary study. NASA stated that such large asteroids only approach Earth every few thousand years, making this event likely unprecedented in recorded history.
The unique proximity and timing offer a rare chance for detailed observation. As the agency mentioned, “This is the first time humans have had the technology to observe it.” The 2029 encounter allows researchers to study a giant of the solar system up close.
If the skies are clear, millions in the Eastern Hemisphere can see Apophis approach with the naked eye. NASA states that the asteroid will be visible from the ground without telescopes or binoculars, offering a rare chance for everyone to witness this colossal space rock glide past Earth.
The asteroid is categorized as “potentially hazardous” by Space.com due to its size and proximity, not because it poses an active threat. It took years of monitoring to achieve an “all-clear” status. When discovered in 2004, it briefly reached Level 4 on the Torino Impact Hazard Scale, with an initial 2.7% chance of impacting Earth in 2029.
In 2021, NASA’s advanced radar confirmed that the asteroid Apophis poses no collision risk for at least the next century. The 2029 flyby is now seen as a significant scientific mission. The European Space Agency (ESA) is preparing its Rapid Apophis Mission for Space Safety (RAMES) team to monitor the asteroid’s journey and study how Earth’s gravity affects it.
Many believe that the Book of Revelation, chapter 8, could be about asteroids hitting the earth.
Revelations 8:7 The first angel sounded, and there followed hail and fire mingled with blood, and they were cast upon the earth: and the third part of trees was burnt up, and all green grass was burnt up.
Revelations 8:8 And the second angel sounded, and as it were a great mountain burning with fire was cast into the sea: and the third part of the sea became blood;
Revelations 8:9 And the third part of the creatures which were in the sea, and had life, died; and the third part of the ships were destroyed.
Revelations 8:10 And the third angel sounded, and there fell a great star from heaven, burning as it were a lamp, and it fell upon the third part of the rivers, and upon the fountains of waters;
Revelations 8:11 And the name of the star is called Wormwood: and the third part of the waters became wormwood; and many men died of the waters, because they were made bitter.
Revelations 8:12 And the fourth angel sounded, and the third part of the sun was smitten, and the third part of the moon, and the third part of the stars; so as the third part of them was darkened, and the day shone not for a third part of it, and the night likewise.
Revelations 9:1 And the fifth angel sounded, and I saw a star fall from heaven unto the earth: and to him was given the key of the bottomless pit.
Revelations 9:7 And the shapes of the locusts were like unto horses prepared unto battle; and on their heads were as it were crowns like gold, and their faces were as the faces of men.
Revelations 9:11 And they had a king over them, which is the angel of the bottomless pit, whose name in the Hebrew tongue is Abaddon, but in the Greek tongue hath his name Apollyon.

Revelations 9:18 By these three was the third part of men killed, by the fire, and by the smoke, and by the brimstone, which issued out of their mouths.
Most likely the same event since it’s 1/3 of land, water, and people, and 1/3 of the sun, moon, stars, night, and day.
