NASA has reportedly admitted we aren't ready for the return of Apophis in 2029, and this April 16, 2026 update investigates the "Horrifying Truth" that has scientists alarmed across the globe. While the viral headlines scream that "We Are Doomed," the March and April 2026 reports from the Space Mission Planning Advisory Group (SMPAG) tell a more complex story. Measuring 340 meters (the height of the Eiffel Tower), the asteroid 99942 Apophis will pass just 31,600 kilometers from Earth on Friday, April 13, 2029—closer than many of our geostationary satellites. Scientists are alarmed because while the impact risk for 2029 has been officially ruled out for 100 years, the April 2026 budget debates have put NASA's primary scouting mission, OSIRIS-APEX, at risk, potentially leaving us "blind" to how Earth's gravity will warp and destabilize the asteroid during its flyby.
