OSIRIS-APEX is a NASA spacecraft that has a new mission: to explore Apophis, the god of chaos. Apophis is a stony asteroid that will come very close to Earth in 2029, and it could pose a threat to our planet. In this episode, we will follow the journey of OSIRIS-APEX to Apophis, and learn how it will fly closer to the Sun than ever before, study how Apophis changes after its close encounter with Earth, and try to stir up some rocks and dust on its surface.
