Apophis's 2029 pass, visualised from JPL Horizons data

So I've been obsessed with this for a few weeks. Pulled the actual position data from JPL Horizons and built an animation around it.

Honest caveats: the asteroid shape is generic (not the radar model), the tidal stretching and dust are my illustration of an effect that's documented but not this visible, and Ramses' route is a sketch because ESA hasn't published it.
