Noticed on the calendar that yesterday marked 10 years until the 2029 Apophis flyby! I presume a lot of telescopic/radar observations will be done, but haven't heard of any missions being planned to it (anyone know if those proposals are going ahead?). That Friday the 13th should be an unaided eye reminder of Earth's place in the solar system, in addition to the scientific value of observing this object get so close; if it's a rubble-pile, might it break-up from Earth's tides?
