Apophis - Asteroid may collide with earth on April 13th friday 2029

Hello people, I’m here to post something new and interesting.

Astrophysicists have predicted that an asteroid called “Apophis” named after the ancient Egyptian god of death is going to get very close to earth and if nothing is done it will come back and hit us 7 years later. Check this video out.

Dr. Neil deGrasse Tyson, describes how this could happen. Death can never be described this hilarious. You guys need to watch this 5 mins video. I’m so glad we get to see an asteroid so close in this life time. I would even go to Santa Monica to see it.

Bah… the scientists have been predicting sooo many things that these things have become boring!! Talk of doomsday prophets!

True Ashwin, but this is visibly an interesting challenge. if by 2029 they do not deflect it, 2036 might be doomsday for at least half the world.
Now that is thrilling!

Err….even before the so called 2029 catastrophe is said to occur, there a doomsday prediction that seems even more close.
The one about dec 21st 2012, theres a huge deal of info about this date if u type it in google or youtube.
Been allegedly proven by the I Ching, thr mayan calendar and astronomical data.
sort of

It is not scheduled to hit Earth April 13th Friday 2029. It will be close though. The Comet will pass us in 2029, so close that it will dip below our orbiting communication satellites. From that passing in 2009, astrophysicist’s will be able to calculate if it’s going to hit us in 2036.

Yea, is it passes the key hole, it will definitely hit the earth in 2036. If they are able to deflect the comet in the year 2029, then we can avoid the comet altogether.
