the 2029 close approach




.

Downloaded and tested.

But I saw that Apophis's trajectory was not good for the next arrival near the Earth on Apr 13th 2029.

After its last journey near the Earth, The scientists wrote :
"The closest known approach of Apophis comes on April 13, 2029, when the asteroid comes to within a distance of around 31,600 kilometres from Earth's surface."

Keep in mind the uncertainities of such a distant-ish future approach.
