9 near-earth asteroids in 6 days.

This curiosity is important, there is a very advanced amateur in astronomy called Tony Dunn, and he published on his

These nine asteroids have passed less than the distance that separates the Earth from the Moon. Fortunately, they were all small. Estimates show that they ranged from 1 to 38 meters in diameter at most, and the curious thing is that most of them were discovered this last month.

But look at the first 2024 RN4 in the trajectory that follows, it was not the one that passed closest, the one that passed closest was 2025 SY1, which passed 57,211 km from us, that is passing very close, I follow the criterion of using brush or a term like that, when that asteroid passes within the orbit of the satellites, because at least I consider that the Earth, our civilization has expanded and now we have a true technological bubble of communication and information that is the entire satellite network and that satellite network reaches the geostationary orbit, about 35,000 km away from the Earth.

But the curious thing is that the one you see from the beginning is one of those that has undergone the greatest transformation in its orbit, 2024 RN4. I have no references to its size, but I already said that it would be, at most, 38 m in diameter. The interesting thing is that its trajectory was greatly altered by the Earth's gravity and it is not the only one of these shown in this graph that has happened in recent days.

Apophis is about 340 m in diameter and will pass much closer than these, it will also be inside, it will literally brush against the Earth, it will be inside that sphere of satellites that we have, it will pass about 32,000 km away from the Earth's surface and will be visible to the naked eye in some parts of the planet. This 2029 meeting is of great interest to the scientific community because the Earth's gravity will modify the orbit of this asteroid, In fact, there are several space agencies such as NASA and the European Space Agency that have missions planned to study Apophis in detail during this flyby.

They even say that Apophis is going to suffer earthquakes, since the Earth's gravity can also alter the surface of Apophis. Keep in mind that small asteroids have almost no gravity, dust, rocks and others are held together by other types of forces. The question is, will Earth's gravity change Apophis' trajectory for the better or will it launch it away from us and change it for the worse? And it will make Apophis's next steps near us much more dangerous, that is the big question they hope to resolve in 2029.
