Predicted and scheduled events

• March 10–17 – The 2029 Special Olympics World Winter Games are scheduled to be held in Switzerland.
• March 25 – If not triggered earlier, the next German federal election will occur no later than this date.
• April 13 – Asteroid 99942 Apophis, at 335 metres (1,100 feet) wide, will pass Earth less than 32,000 kilometres (20,000 miles) from Earth's surface: closer than geosynchronous satellites. When discovered, it was considered a serious threat to Earth, but since then refined predictions have ruled out any impact risk for the next 100 years.
