No known asteroid is predicted to hit Earth in 2029.
The question often refers to the near-Earth asteroid 99942 Apophis, which will make a close approach in April 2029 and be visible to many observers. While Apophis will pass within about 32,000 km of Earth’s surface (inside some satellite orbits), assessments by planetary defense agencies confirm the probability of impact is effectively zero for 2029 and for at least the next century. This guide explains why Apophis matters for science and planetary defense, how close approaches are monitored, and how risk is quantified and communicated.
