I remember first hearing of the Apophis Asteroid in 2004. It was first reported that this Astroid would be passing by the Earth in 2029 but that there was nothing to be concerned about. But now in 2011 there appears to be something to be concerned about. Governments around the World have been holding meetings to discuss a solution to this fast approaching problem. It has been calculated that on 2029 this Astroid will miss Earth (just) but on its return journey in 2036 it will hit the Earth. Nasa will have the final trajectory calculations completeted by 2013.
Sorry for such a depressing post guys.
What do you think we can do about this impending catastrophe.
I'd be interested to know why the moon will not divert this asteroids impact like it does to a large percentage of other asteroids.

ReplyDeleteDo not fear it. Fear our 'calculations' and rash action. Avoid emotional responses.
