In this episode, we dive into the latest revelations about Comet Apophis, the so-called “God of Chaos,” set to make its closest approach to Earth on an eerie date: Friday the 13th, 2030. Named after an ancient Egyptian deity of darkness and destruction, Apophis has scientists on their toes as new models continually update its trajectory, making us wonder: Just how close will it come? We’ll explore the origins behind this asteroid’s ominous name, the potential for surface transformations during its 2029 flyby, and why astronomers insist it’s critical to stay informed and prepared—just in case. Join us as we unravel the science, history, and mystery of Apophis and discuss why, when it comes to cosmic encounters, it’s always best to be prepared, not scared.
