Question

When it passes in 2029, could Apophis technically be captured by Earth’s gravity and become a second “Moon”?

Answer 1

It’s going way too fast, and it’s predicted to make a second pass in 2036. AFAIK that one will be closer, the trajectory I saw has it passing between Earth and the moon, but it still goes too fast to get captured by Earth’s gravity.
