Warning: Asteroid closer than it appears!

Look out all you land-lovers! In 2029, we're going to have a visit from an extremely close cosmic object - (da da daaa!) The asteroid "aphosis" (1,400 feet in length!) will approach the Earth on the ominous date of Friday, April 13th, 2029, and will come within 40,000 miles of our beloved planet, incredibly close in cosmic-terms. However, initially rated at an unprecedented "yellow alert" level, this mighty space-rock has since been downgraded, and will absolutely not strike the Earth in its passing. However, since it will be flying by at such a close range, its orbit will change due to the Earth's gravitational pull, making any future strikes an unpredictable possibility.

So set your calendars, mark your clocks, and head on over to Africa, Europe, or East Asia, for it'll be viewable with the naked eye, but only from those locations. Unless, of course, it chooses a much closer location, like, say, the continental crust. We shall see, my friends, we shall see!
