Project Apophis

Project Apophis is a global effort to monitor and track asteroid 99942 Apophis, which poses a potential collision risk with Earth in the future. Scientists use advanced telescopes and observations to calculate its orbit precisely, assessing the likelihood of impact. The goal is to understand the asteroid's trajectory well enough to develop possible deflection or mitigation strategies if needed. The project emphasizes international cooperation and preparedness, ensuring that we can respond effectively should Apophis ever threaten our planet.
