Nasa's OSIRIS-APEx spacecraft set to study 'God of Chaos' asteroid

Certainly! Here's a retyped version:

An illustration depicting Apophis, also known as the "God of Chaos" asteroid, approaching near Earth, has been released by NASA.

The NASA spacecraft OSIRIS-REx, recently returned from outer space, has been reactivated under the new name OSIRIS-APEx with the mission of studying the approaching "God of Chaos" asteroid in Earth's orbit.

NASA has announced that OSIRIS-APEx will be launched to analyze the unprecedented close flyby of the asteroid Apophis in 2029, a rare event that "hasn't happened since the dawn of recorded history."

After seven years of collecting samples from the space asteroid Bennu, the spacecraft returned to Earth in September.

On April 13, 2029, Apophis, commonly referred to as the "God of Chaos," is expected to pass Earth at a distance of only 20,000 miles, closer than some artificial satellites. There is a possibility that Apophis may even be visible from the Eastern Hemisphere.

This approximately 370-yard-wide rock comes this close to Earth only once every 7,500 years.

As Apophis approaches Earth's orbit, it will be affected by the planet's gravity. OSIRIS-APEX will observe the resulting changes, focusing on "how its surface changes," according to project scientist Amy Simon.

Anticipations include alterations to the asteroid's day, currently around 30.6 hours long, due to Earth's influence, possibly leading to earthquakes and landslides for the "God of Chaos."

“We know that tidal forces and the accumulation of rubble pile material are foundational processes that could play a role in planet formation,” stated Dani Mendoza DellaGiustina, principal investigator for OSIRIS-APEX at the University of Arizona in Tucson.
