Putting Near-Earth Asteroid (99942) Apophis into Context

We compare the spectrum of Apophis with other near-Earth asteroid of similar taxonomic classes, sizes and shapes to understand how it fits into the population. Potential spectral effects from the Earth flyby may freshen the surface and be observable.
