The European Space Agency's upcoming Ramses mission aims to study asteroid Apophis, which will approach Earth closely in 2029. While new findings suggest a slim chance of collision, the odds remain extremely low. The mission will enhance our understanding of this "potentially hazardous" asteroid and demonstrate international collaboration in planetary defense efforts, with NASA's OSIRIS-APEX also set to gather valuable data about Apophis in the coming years.
