Wandering Star
The Living Force
Apophis, named after an ancient Egyptian deity that embodies darkness and disorder, is a near-Earth asteroid that NASA classifies as a potentially hazardous object with a diameter of 370 meters. Approximately the size of the Eifel Tower, Apophis caused a brief period of concern in 2004 when initial observations indicated a probability of up to 2.7 percent that it would hit Earth in 2029. Admittedly, at this size, Apophis is many things, but it’s far from being a planet-killer; due to its minute size, Apophis is more of a city-killer asteroid.I don't know if this is just doom porn, but I find it interesting that say this: "...Apophis, a city-killer asteroid, could hit Earth as it makes its scheduled super-close approach to our planet in 2029. The chances of this happening are pretty close to naught, and we won’t be able to confirm whether or not Apophis is on a collision course for another three years."
City-Killer Asteroid On Track To Impact Earth
NASA is already tracking a city-killer asteroid that barely missed us 20 years ago, but this flyby is worrying scientists.www.giantfreakinrobot.com
Subsequent observation of this city-killer asteroid revealed that Apophis will sail safely past Earth during its 2029 flyby without causing any damage on the surface. However, it would sail past at a distance that’s less than 20,000 miles, which could damage some of our satellites.
Nothing to see here, the asteroid hit earth or not hit earth, so imposible to fail the prediction.
