Apophis 2029 Flyby Key Takeaways

  • No impact risk: NASA’s current orbital solutions for Apophis show zero impact probability for at least the next 100 years.[1]
  • The 2029 flyby: Using official NASA data, Astrophyzix can confirm that on Friday 13 April 2029, Apophis will pass at about 32,000 km above Earth’s surface (about 20,000 miles), closer than geostationary satellites but on a safe, non-impact trajectory.[1],[2]
  • Impact Risk removed: Astrophyzix can conform that high-precision radar observations in 2020–2021 allowed NASA to rule out all impact scenarios for 2029, 2036, and beyond within the 100‑year assessment window.[1],[3]
  • New Science opportunity: The upcoming 2029 encounter is now treated as a science scenario, not a hazard scenario. Astrophyzix Digital Observatory is looking forward to observing and studying this asteroid in 2029 during the flyby event.
  • A Benchmark object: Apophis is used as a reference case in planetary defence simulations, mission design studies, and public‑communication exercises.[4]

Bx4


Newly Discovered Asteroid 2026 BX4

Asteroid 2026 BX4 is a near-Earth asteroid (NEA) identified in early 2026 whose orbital trajectory brings it into relatively close proximity with Earth on 16 February 2026. Near-Earth asteroids are remnants of the early Solar System whose paths have been altered over time by gravitational interactions with planets, particularly Jupiter and Earth. 

Will Asteroid BX4 Hit Earth? No, this asteroid poses no threat to Earth.

Debunked: Recent “Greenland UFO” Claims Are Still Just Speculation, Not Evidence

This article follows our earlier analysis of the ‘Greenland UFO’ claim, which examined the origin of the radar imagery and why it was misinterpreted. 

There’s been renewed chatter on social media and forums suggesting that a giant UFO or alien craft is buried beneath the ice of Greenland — claims that occasionally resurface alongside real scientific discoveries. 

Is there a UFO buried under the ice in Greenland? NO!

Nothing E.T. This Way Comes: Debunking the “Alien Spacecraft Under Greenland’s Ice” Rumour


Is there a UFO under Greenland?

No, there is no evidence of any alien spacecraft buried under Greenland’s ice. 

Radar imagery that sparked these claims is misinterpreted, and what exists is known Cold War-era installations like Camp Century. Scientific research and satellite data confirm these reports are natural ice formations and human-made structures, not extraterrestrial technology.

What Is the Disclosure Movement?


Once confined to the fringes, UFO claims have re-entered the mainstream under the label Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAPs). By 2026, a growing disclosure movement has emerged, blending genuine scientific uncertainty with speculative claims, media sensationalism, and persistent allegations of government secrecy. While some unanswered questions remain, many of the movement’s most dramatic assertions continue to lack verifiable evidence.

Asteroid 2002 LX Orbit chart

Written by: Astrophyzix Science News on 20/01/2026


Asteroid 2002 LX Overview

Asteroid 2002 LX is a near-Earth object belonging to the Apollo group of asteroids, meaning its orbit crosses Earth’s path around the Sun. It was discovered in 2002 and has been observed regularly since then, allowing astronomers to build a well-defined orbital model. Because its orbit brings it relatively close to Earth on occasion, it is classified as a Potentially Hazardous Asteroid, a technical designation based on proximity rather than any imminent danger.

Asteroid Hathor Charts for 2026 close approach

Abstract

Floating through the inner Solar System with the grace of an orbital dancer, asteroid 2340 Hathor is a fascinating space rock that has captured astronomers’ attention since the mid-1970s. Named after an ancient goddess yet rooted in modern science, Hathor embodies the intersection of myth, celestial mechanics, and planetary defense.

While it poses no imminent danger, Hathor is notable for an upcoming close approach to Earth on 17 January 2026, an event that has placed it firmly back on astronomers’ observation schedules.
