One of the most potentially hazardous asteroids, Apophis, is coming back and NASA has a bold plan this time. In 2029, it will approach our planet at a distance of just 32,000 kilometers or about 19,900 miles, passing below the orbits of geostationary satellites and shining as brightly as a satellite itself. This event will make it visible to billions of naked-eye observers worldwide, a rare occurrence that occurs only once every few thousand years.
Even more exciting is that NASA's OSIRIS-APEX mission is already on its way to study the asteroid up close.

Trudeau will make us pay climate change tax if it hits us!
999 is the inverse of 666, which is actually just the carbon atom and refers to life on Earth. 42 refers to the 42 letter name of God, well known from "The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy." So 99942 means God of Destruction. Apophis, also called Apep, is the dragon of darkness and destruction.
There’s always the possibility it could hit us
🥲🍗🫃🏼🖕🏻
To prevent mass panic, worldwide chaos and societal collapse, the people in charge are never going to tell the general public that an impact is going to happen.
Don’t look up
Agree 100%
Exactly
They will in the movies

Don’t look Up
Ignorance is bliss
i’m gonna live like this is gonna make impact
yeah, really........it is a close estimate.....
best comment here................me too
Me too! I just tore all the tags off of my mattress and pillows!
it's just a city killer... i mean, sucks for whatever city it impacts, but not a global killer... silver lining?
Its not going to hit. The chances of that are astronomically low. You have a better chance of dying from a lightning bolt.
And if it did, itd only be able to wipe a small city smfh.
Anyone else read this and feel like an asteroid striking the Earth would be a huge relief from the world we live in?
Sadly that a lot of people because we live in a time of hopelessness
Humans emaciated heaven and with all our “intelligence”
invented a hell on earth.
Brilliant
👏
We outsmarted ourselves, again
As a Christian I have to encourage you to read the book of Revelation. One global government, one global currency and one religion. As well as an asteroid called Wormwood. All prophesied thousands of years ago. We are definitely on the cusp of Jesus return. Accept today whom you will serve. God bless!
Nope! Not everyone is depressed. Most of us love life.
Imma be honest. YES
it's so nice to see non-scare-tactic-click-bait science videos on subjects like this. Thank you for a reasonable, lucid review!
HERE HERE REASON, THE SOCRATIC METHOD, AND SIMPLE EMPIRICISM TO THE RESCUE
Yeah except the rock apparently is a living thing and has a 'bold plan'. This is another channel making people dumber by the day. Edit..they changed it after I left this comment 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Which is why I just subscribed.
@meziahdanieljolley8842 it's NASA's bold plan...not the asteroid's
They weren't given a choice. They hid the official label but someone leaked it on the internet so they had no choice but to admit to it. JB-1 2019 is the label if you want to see the details on it 😊😊
But, scary part is, if they knew it would hit us - they would keep it hush, send a secret mission disguised as gathering info, and do basically what they are doing now..
The problem with your assumption is the 'they'. You are assuming that only a small handful of individuals are somehow keeping hundreds if not thousands of physicists, mathematicians, and observers from reaching the same conclusion OR 'they' are keeping aforementioned individuals silenced. While it certainly exists in the realm of possibility, I don't think it would be the most likely scenario.
Yea just a handful are having a meeting in jacksonhole in February.
@@lumpychucks6457 I would assume it would take supercomputers to calculate the orbital path with enough accuracy and those aren't available to many.
@@The1stDukeDroklar There are still limits to what current technology can accomplish. I don't think we have the computing power available at this point in time to accurately model the near infinitesimal variables needed to use solar energy to safely re-route an asteroid tumbling through space. Imagine tying a rocket to a baseball and trying to model exactly how it moves as it randomly darts around.
Edit: If there was even a possibility, the surface of the asteroid would first need to be modeled and the makeup of the asteroid would need to be determined. If that where to be done on this pass, then most likely, we'd have to wait until the next pass to do anything anyways. The fact that their predictions are still indeterminate, tells us that scientists have not yet found a way to model it's movement precisely with the technology and information available.
@@The1stDukeDroklar The math can be done by hand, if necessary. The calculations are pretty simple.
gunna send this to my sister she has anxiety surely this will help
You savage lol
roflllll
Yeah. Relax sis its all going to be over in 5 years. Better get going on that bucket list, though.
And to think, Colonel Jack O’Neil had believed that he had eliminated any potential threat that Apophis held against Earth.

Excellent presentation. Thank you.
I wouldn't waste my time worrying! We won't live forever however you look at it! So just enjoy the time you have!❤
True.
So you want your kids or grandchildren to suffer
You should be thrilled about apophis it's interestingly similar in proximity to religous dates and timing for the comet wormwood in Revelations which marks the reign of the Antichrist. @@666VBEast
How can I do that when I’m emotionally broken and confused and only in my childhood
No not forever, but you could have more than 5 years left!
The only way these asteroids could hit and cause actual damage to Earth is if scientists make their calculations showing it will hit us if we don't do something about it, then they try to hit it or something to steer it away and it backfires, causing it to actually hit us head on.
Don’t Look Up
This thought keeps me awake some nights: in a boundless shooting gallery, theres always something big headed your way
it's amazing how mission scientists are able to conduct such complex journeys....
I personally believe Apophis may very well be Wormwood.
Just a humble opinion.
You may well be right, but it’s all in Gods hands anyway, so we’ve no need to be concerned.
Have you heard of Tom Horn and what he was shown about Apophis/Wormwood?
@@marchofsaints6733
did you know he recently passed?
much to learn and consider at SkyWatchers

@@marchofsaints6733 Yes. I believe his vision to most likely be a true revelation from God on the nature of this asteroid.

The rock solid argument.
If it hits, then it's god's will.

Can't lose.

Not of much use that god of yours, isn't he?
Better to worship NASA.
I've seen this one. Captain Carter surrounds the asteroid and goes in hyperspace to travel through the Earth. SG-1 saved us that day.
I went thru grade school in San Francisco, ""BUT"" grew-up in Fairbanks, Alaska in 1948 to '51 (high school). Astronomy; "The Aurora Borealis" / "The Northern Lights" so bright you could read a newspaper by it. The "Mid-night Sun" in June that first year, created an interest our Universe that is still in this 90 yr. old. When I was in the "Navy", 1951/55, my last yr. and a half was spent flying as a "flight steward" with V.R.-21 out of Barbers Point, Oahu, HI. One night at Agana, Guam the view of the "Southern Cross" was so powerful, " " "beyond words." " "
5:22 Why not land ? And send a continuous signal so the orbit can be tracked to maximum detail,
with the Yarkovsky deviation of the gravitational trajectory being studied at the same time ?
The hero we don’t want but Earth wished for.
Your genocidal wish for all of humanity is vile and disgusting. If you believe we such a burden intoxicating the Earth, you are free to leave.

What are the others?
@Haught127 One is named "2017 PDC", 96% chance to hit 21 July, 2027. (cneos.jpl.nasa.gov)
This will be a Sunward approach. So we'll only get a couple days warning.
If I see it coming, I'll step out of the way.
IF. Such a wonderful statement...
The chixalub impactor was, to directly quote from Riley Black's "The Last Days of the Dinosaurs" book, "so fast that if we were to stand at a single point and try to watch it, we would feel it rather than see it. It (the asteroid) traveled at 44,738mph. It's not even blink and you'll miss it fast. It's watch for it and you'll miss it fast."
While apophis is not world ending, its speed will be incredible.
Check out the book, it is a wonderful piece to read. Almost a direct (or as direct as humanly possible) hour by hour, day by day breakdown of the K-PG extinction event.
My eyes aren't as good as they used to be. If I see someone else stepping out of the way, I'll do the same.@@nickshinault3712
yeah i’m sceptical, i find it hard to believe it will come that close and not smash into us…
if it’s going to be closer to use than our own satellites are and it’s 1100ft long it’s not a good sign
Inside of geostationary orbit.... those sit further out than the usual orbits of some satellites..
Calculation of the gravitational effects of all the expected flyby visitors to the asteroid must be a real headache, even for master mathematicians and computer programmers. Hope there is one program already developed to do instant updates as the asteroid orbit experiences any track changes. Otherwise it could be pulled closer to earth rather than pushed away.
It's already being done and has been for a long time. It's known as Astrometry which is accomplished by Astrometrists (vs Astronomers) who study the positions and movements of celestial bodies. Their work also allows for the tracking of objects in space and the detection of previously unknown planets. You can go back to sleep. I'll let you know should a large, previously unknown, celestial object be about to impact the Earth near you.
Passing at 32000 kliks, the earth's gravity is going to have more effect on - the next time around - than a few dozen kg of a satellite investigator.
@@cassiespencer6134 Forget it !. The next Atlantean Event is scheduled for late 24..The Sun will rise in the West for 9 days..The Earth will stop rotating for 5 days..When its all over the Earth will be far from the position it is today...Our binary solar system is here..
It's not really difficult to compute, Einstein's gravitation math is not really complex. Modern videogames are much more complex, as other commentor said, it has been done by hand before computers. Galaxy scale it gets heavy though.
So can you confirm the chance of apophis hitting in 2029 is very unlikely, cause im having so much anxiety over this damn rock@@cassiespencer6134
Depending on the definition of a "Near Miss",
there must be at least as many near misses as collisions.
All who works in NASA, also knows, EARTH IS A CLOSED SYSTEM, NOBODY CANNOT LEAVE EARTH, THERE IS NOWHERE TO GO. They all know it, yet willingly deceive.
+ they are in the masonry club - that says it all.
NASA deals with CGI and Hollywood basements, making “SPACE”, to deceive mankind.
They, masons, wants to finally break the firmament, that`s the only and simple reason for NASA and all its missions.
I also wonder if they consider the smallest possibilities of asteroids colliding with other things that may adjust its course even slightly while going through its orbit
collisions would cause a cascade of damage, not a "detour of course" our satelites fly at speeds of 17.000 mph/28,000 km/h to maintain orbital velocity. if something makes contact, without matching speed means debris is going to break off and fly everywhere. paint flakes the size of a pea, cause shotgun sized cavitation into the hull of the international space station. in regards to asteroids hitting other asteroids, it is surprisingly unlikely considering the vast scope of our solar system, compared with the density of our "space junk" orbiting earth. that is 1000's of times more dense than the asteroid belt beyond Mars, or the even less dense Kuiper belt beyond neptune.
@@dustinherk8124 That's along the lines of my thinking about it.. the likelyhood is so small it's almost impossible + the idea of something that massive being pushed off course by something much smaller than it is even less possible. The only way that would be possible is if the smaller object happens to be more dense.. which is also extremely unlikely in the void of space. I appreciate your opinion and insight into my question 🙏
In 1988, I saw a "vision" of a comet moving slowly across the sky. It only lasted for a few seconds but it was unmistakable. It had a short, fiery tail. It was moving in such a way as to indicate a impact was not imminent.
It was the only "vision" I've ever had. I've always wondered if it was a warning of what's to come someday. Could it be Apophis in 2029?
Very interesting. Thank you!
To bad it will miss us 😂
Actually thrilling phenomenon!!😮
As DART mission has shown, in the case that Apophis _does_ pass through the critical "keyhole" leading to impacting Earth later, we have enough time and appropriate technology to nudge it enough to miss us again. It is small enough and passes close by often enough to make this not only possible, but (relatively) easy.
No chance of an airburst in 2029?
@@Morristown337 No. the trajectory is very well known, and the uncertainties in effects of Yarkovsky and YORP effects are too small to lead to the asteroid grazing the atmosphere. After that, though, new measurements will be needed. Hence those missions.
Do you believe that they would honestly let us know the truth if it was or use that cover story?@@bazoo513
That's if earth isn't being destroyed by humans already
You're delusional
Hope I’m still alive to see it impact Earth. I’d hate to miss it. 🏴
Sweet, 7 day weekend from that time forward
Thank God we need a change
well, it's nice knowing you guys.
It's been emotional
Airtag mission.

The name "Apophis" has its origins in Egyptian mythology and is associated with a demon serpent of darkness, often depicted as a giant serpent and considered the arch enemy of the sun god Ra, whom he fought every night. Apophis was also associated with various forces of evil in Egyptian theology, such as earthquakes, thunder, darkness, storms, and death
@richardchildress9031, it curiously has the designation "99942", pretty easy to see 3 "6's" in there. I'm not superstitious but some people are, funny enough the date of it's expected "closest approach" is "Friday the 13th" in April 2029. The model shows it actually going in the opposite direction however from the video. The Earth spins counter-clockwise but the asteroid is shown to actually come in "clockwise" and it's said to be at it's very closest right over the Atlantic ocean which happens just before it begins to cross in "front of/over" the U.S." where it's said to be "not visible at that point due to the daylight." I don't have any info on the expected "time" of it's approach but if by chance it's "overnight", perhaps those of us in the Eastern U.S. might be able to catch a glimpse early morning at a far distance given it will still be above us by nearly the diameter of the Earth at the equator....
People havent mentioned that this big boy is 310 m wide. It wont be the result of mankinds extinction but it sure as hell will kick our asses.
For reference the asteroid that no scoped the dino bros was 10-15 km wide :O
Thanks for pointing out the thing that I would expect most people wanted to know from this video! At 310m it's very roughly one fifth of the size of the asteroid that made the 23km wide Haughton crater on Devon Island, so it's not going to wipe out humanity but there will certainly be some fireworks and one hell of a hole! Obviously, the location it hits will set the parameters for the damage.
anytime man! ;)@@RJPaul-px6vt
Hence, all the doomsday bunkers the super rich are building.
Bingo Ralph. Millions and billions are being spent. What are we even doing
This asteroid might be smaller but if it were to land were you live, well, dead is dead. And the after effects of the impact will still go global. So even if it smaller, the outcome for the rest of the world would not be good.
Cz-Pokud na maistream ujišťuje že se v roce 29 nesrazíme musíme se radši připravovat na nejhorší tedy případnou srážku.Ještě nedávno byl "výpočet" 78 tisíc km dnes je to už jen 38 tisíc.Přirovnal bych to k lidské hlavě a o jeden vlas nás může minout ale klidně se může i trefit díky třeba gravitačního zachycení a průletu poblíž menšího tělesa nejen Minkovského efekt ale i třeba vlétnutí do mračen slunečního větru může ovlivnit jeho dráhu.

I actually saw this while driving down the expressway the other day
Bro, for some reason, I feel like us tampering with Apophis is only going to increase its chances of impact. The maneuvers and landings mission can possibly change its trajectory. We've always had trial and error to understand things, but with space, it's different. We can't afford to make mistakes because one wrong move could create a domino effect.
Here's to hoping that by 2068 we have developed a working asteroid redirection system!
That would be too late, it needs to be redirected within the next 12 years or so, or it's 2nd flyby in 2036 will actually be an impact.
Maybe SLS will be ready in time...
Apophis 2029..
@@nightshadowbladeaccording to NASA website there is no risk of impact for at least the next century. The 2036 flyby will be much, much further away from us, around 20 times the distance of the moon.
It won't matter. Apophis is gonna take everything out in 2036.
This is the first clip that I've seen that talks like everything is all peaches and cream when it comes to this asteroid

thank we have Dart mission doing his job
It was taken in calculation, along other effects we haven’t discovered yet , I believe.
That is such good news... glad we are doing something.
It always amazes me that people with the same learning opportunities as flat earthers are capable of designing and calculating the precise trajectory that these amazing spacecrafts take the complete their missions successfully.
"flat earthers" are not a real thing.
It is something made up so that people like you can say "They da dum! I da smart!"
Not so precise.. an estimate. But yeah, If we aren't gonna help, might as well enjoy our deaths at the very least and not get in their way 🤯🧿🤯
If the earth is flat then God exists because it's exactly as the bible interprets creation, and if God is real then there is hope to be pulled out of wrath! We need to turn from sin though, and ask the Holy Spirit for help!
@@stockrebel What does the earth being flat or round have to do with him existing?

I was unaware (to date) that any mission had returned physical samples of any asteroids to Earth -- thanks for sharing!

Other than mispronunciation of the name of the asteroid, the video was great.
Bring it on!
Wondering where the moon will be in relation to the asteroid during it's pass by Earth. That might also affect it's orbital mechanics.
Its supposed to be visible to the naked eye so we will see what happens
Hundreds of near misses yearly, so way more near misses than collusions
Right behind earth and rotating around as it passes. It will allegedly go in between the moon and earth so like yeah okay
Good point the moon impacts the ocean !
Any computation of the orbit of such an asteroid takes into account, not only the effect of the Sun, the Earth and the Moon, but also all other planets, as well as a selection of larger asteroids. So, yes, the Moon affects its orbit, but that is already included in the calculations.
Apophis ☄️: Hi Earth
Earth 🌏: Social Distancing Pal
Imagine that thing landing on your barnett. Ouch!
Why can't we nudge it a small amount on this fly-by and thereby create a huge deviation (i.e. get it out of our way) on the next flyby?
It better not be on Superbowl Sunday!
Wouldn’t it be wise to develop some type of assembly to at least a few of these satellites that could possibly paint Apophis? Using the Yarkovski effect to push it out of Earths orbit?
🎉😮
That's certainly an idea, but it would be incredibly unpredictable. You would have to paint one of it's rotational axis to have any hope of predicting where it would go. Then the force exerted from that painted side (or lack of force, depending on whether you where painting dark or light), would change its rotational axis over time. The amount of force the painting would cause would be variable, depending on the makeup of the asteroid, and off-gassing would likely remove at least some of the paint (which would be an argument for using reflective paint to reduce temperature). Then finally, it would depend on positioning relative to the sun, accounting for changes that we are making. I don't think we have accurate enough simulations, nor space spray painters, to make this happen with any accuracy, and the proximity of it's orbit to earth makes that a risky proposal. Just my opinion.
No
Dave Jewitt, a Prof. who knows what he is talking about said, there is nothing we can do about it. but he made that statement regarding asteroids about 10 km in diameter, (an extinction event). my guess is, that that is also the case when it comes to a 34o meter asteroid.
I wonder is heat type lasers would work in space. If so a lot of them together could warm, heat maybe cut or melt it idk im brain storming. I have been watching stuff about this astroid for about 3-4 years now and I had a feeling that it’s gunna happen by how close it’s gunna be after 2029 because it’s gunna change course from 2 things atleast. The earths gravitational pull when it passes and the yarkovsky effect. That makes double orbit expansion for the astroid putting perfectly in our path after the 2029 visit.
Wow that's amazing 💯💯👍
How appropriate that _Osiris_ will inspect _Aphophis_ and inform our efforts to, should it be necessary, defeat it.
Excellent information thank you
We just need Killface to move us out of the way with the Annihilatrix.
Imagine the chaos if they announced an impact location. People freaking out trying to get to the opposite side of the planet. My thinking is that it wouldn’t hurt for very long. Get me a case of beer and enjoy the view as it gets larger in the sky.
Oh boy, this is going to be a bumpy ride..

I was looking for the Stargate fans. We know the right way to pronounce Apophis.
@@rcschmidt668yep. I pronounce it A PAH fuss
I believe we should try to develop a method of changing orbits to around the moon… where it could be mine for commercial applications.
Mine it for iron oxide, which we have in abundance on Earth?
It’s impact on the earth will be the biggest thing since Mt. St. Helens!
So right off the bat, the camp pronounce apophysis correctly.😮
Instead of measuring the asteroid, why not just cut it up into small parts and bring it all back to earth? You can study it way more, it isnt a danger anymore, and you get valuable resources
lol
@@justsomeguy6474 That would take hundreds of years with very advanced robots and rockets, but it could be done !
“Instead...“ - but how do you break it not knowing the size??? It makes no sense. Besides, “bring them to Earth” is an euphemism for “let them fall.” We don't have cosmic dump trucks for mountain-size “small part”. Nah, let's better knock the whole thing off course in one piece than deal with 100 fragments, each still dangerous, separately... Let's do the maths. Apophis' size is about 370m, and mass 60 million ton. If you've ever seen the Barringer Crater in the Diablo Canyon, Arizona, the impactor size was 30m. As you know, volume is proportional to the size in the 3rd power. 370m (360, to round up) is 12 times more. To cut Apophis to Barringer's impactor size chunks, you'll have to split it into 12³≈1700 pieces. For comparison, 30m is about the size of Boeing-777 (but incomparably heavier, 1/1700 of 60 Mton ≈ 35,000 ton.). We can't land these things softly. Falcon-9 booster dry mass is 25 ton, plus 3-9 ton of remaining reserve fuel at landing. 1000 times less, roughly, than a 1/1700 fragment of this asteroid.
A big difference between Apophis and Barringer's is composition. Barringer's was extremely dense, consisting almost completely of iron and nickel. Apophis is a mix of stone, some Fe/Ni and a lot of primordial, probably loose detritus (remember how Bennu sampler “sunk” into the loose surface debris?). If it, heaven save, enters the atmosphere, it will disintegrate into dozens if not hundreds of pieces. The loose debris has a good chance of burning up and/or evaporating and condensing into smoke-like consistency. The stone part always cracks, because it contains water and other volatile liquid and frozen gases, which suddenly heat, boil and expand explosively, crack the stone into a myriad of fragments. Large ones are likely to reach the surface, or explode mid-air sending a huge destructive pressure wave, like a nuclear weapon, possibly much more powerful. The metal part tho would not disintegrate, and lose no more than half its mass by ablation (probably much less, given its size, as surface is proportional to size squared, and mass to size cubed: the bigger is the object, the smaller fraction of it ablates; ablation is the loss of molten or boiling metal from the surface). I'm not aware of estimates, but a county-sized area experiencing heavy rain of incandescent liquid iron drops is a good approximation, if the metal core hits the land. (One metal piece is the worst prediction: there may be multiple separate metal fragment within the metal+stone part of the asteroid, it is unknown). In any case, we'd be much better off pushing the thing away in one piece, if it heads toward landing on Earth, or leave it alone, if it's certainly on the trajectory to miss-space launches are much more expensive than Uber rides...
I like how they said after its close encounter with earth then they will send out the satellite to study it. Thats alot of faith in believing it won't hit us. I understand that this little guy is traveling quite fast so that's probably why they have to wait for it to pass us first. It would take alot of fuel to turn around the satellite to catch up with it. But still I'm not really happy with the odds of it missing us.
You can't live forever. Party like it's the end of time. Get a face tattoo and go to Vegas. Then, when it zips past, you can be relieved you're unharmed.
I know I was thinking the same thing... the 2029 approach is concerning so why not send something now to help jog it slightly away
That's not faith, it's knowledge it won't hit us. We've been observing the asteroid for years, and every observation improves our knowledge of its trajectory, which allows us to reduce the margin of error on calculations of its future trajectory.
@@h.dejong2531Earth have been hit before so it's not that unexpected.
@@nataliealice05 Sure, Earth has been hit before. But that doesn't matter. We can observe the asteroid, find out its trajectory, calculate where it will be the next time it comes near Earth and find out if it will hit us or not.

Truth and if it wasn’t for Von Braun NASA wouldn’t even exist.
I prefer Northern California Red to any other Red on Earth. Even French, so overblown a name. It's also very good, no questions about that, but the whole Mediterranean-Italy, Spain, Greece, Bulgaria, and I likely forgot a few more countries-grow excellent wines, too, and have a formidably ancient culture of consuming it. But NorCal is the GOAT wine country! California, from Central to Northern, is also in the Mediterranean climatic zone. Maybe it's because we have a cold Pacific, while they experience warm and wet Atlantic's breath? I dunno, but it's just better. (I'm not up to starting an argument about personal tastes, just sharing my POV). And, best of all, they're not mutually exclusive!!! Watching a launch on the 'Net with a tumbler of Cali Red to unwind after a long day is much, much better than watching the same launch with a glass of water!
Never a straight answer.
Nazy space
@@stephenkalatucka6213 I agree hopefully they can shed the secrecy
What a nice ad for brilliant that was nice
I got an ad for Home Depot 😭😭
I can picture Slim Pickens riding it down to earth.
I'm for the jobs the asteroid will provide.
Not human job to prevent it hit, evolution
Ha...ha.........swimming instructors ?
@@jussikankinen9409explain..
However, it’s taking them longer to figure out how to open the casing then the whole mission took to get the sample back
GOOD MORNING
HAPPY CHRISTMAS 2023
MAY Allah bless Palistaen state and it's people and it's ❤❤
Oh my days cameraman never dies
Oh my days stupid boring memes never die
?
That cameraman has been carrying us on their backs for millenia
Supposedly its not even gonna come close to earth. On a cosmic scale, sure its close. But in reality its like as if someone across the street threw a punch in your direction. There was no chance that was gonna hit you.
Yeah but that’s still pretty close when there are factors we don’t completely understand yet that will effect its approach, maybe not this next time, but what about in the next century? Again there’s a reason why they want to study this thing, some of the potential wildcard factors were mentioned in this video but some of them or not. That’s really close. Consider all of the other factors that could change very slightly the trajectory of this bullet, this is a potential problem in the relatively near future. Are the 2029 pass and the 2036 pass will be close enough that a strike sometime in the next century or two is rather likely. We can see the panic and the concern and the urgency for research missions, now imagine the parts they aren’t telling you.
If you want to live through something like this...imagine your life beyond the challenge that is coming and the things you need to do that only you can do to benefit humanity!
You'll always know if something like this is going to hit, the super rich will start making big spaceships, so if the you know what hits the fan, they'll have a chance of surviving.
Never going to.
Can't you see that NASA and others space agencies do is try to make us afraid?
Or bunkers in Hawaii
Or building their underground shelters. Oh right, they are doing that!😊
@@kerrijames949but astroied impact would complete destroy earths crust
Now you know why the space x program is in high gear ?
We have to learn to move these things to a safer distance. If this thing bumps into anything or the sun does burst to it we have a big problem.
Yup exactly!
"is there cause for concern"... Well, if it's passing below the key holding grounds of satellites orbit, yeah, I would say that's a cause for concern! Anything, including the planet's gravity, could alter its course and pull it in.
There are many undiscovered objects in our solar system that could impact the planet at any time. It will happen one day.
the asteroid that has not been seen yet will be the culprit for a new Bruce Willis sequel
Doubt it.... poor soles got parkinsons and has lost the ability to talk 😞 no more yippee ki yays.....
Hello there
who ever worked on "Osiris Mission" well done, AWESOME...*clap*
Oh hell! That thing is going to hit us sure as the Sun rises!
Why do they give astral bodies such obviously twisted names?
They don't, they named this one because of its threat to earth. If they aren't a threat they get nice names.
What's so twisted about it?
Mostly its astronomies link to the Greek and latin languages.
Would "Steve" be better? It doesn't really have the same ring.😊
@@MrGrumpyGillsapophis is an ancient Egyptian serpent demon. Sounds pretty twisted to me.
Is it possible to stop the rotation (tumbling motion) of such a large object? Would that eliminate a variable to help calculate it's path around the Sun?
Too unpredictable.... wayyy to unpredictable...
impossible when you don't know it's composition, imagine only one "side" was loaded with volatiles, which outgassed at the opposing side and caused it to hit Earth....@@whateyecansee
i imagine this question like watching the orbital trajectory in ksp but when you are full throttle and your rocket is spinning. so theoretically yes why wouldn't it be easier to calculate.
thats probably whats actually causing its rotation..
@@ashleyobrien4937
What if we hit it hard enough to knock it off course
Well, I won't be alive in the year 2068 unless I can live to be 119 years old. Nice that scientists are analyzing asteroids and can figure out the possibilities of any impacts to Earth that could happen. Hopefully we are safe for the 2029 flyby of this asteroid which I should see what happens. There maybe other asteroids out there we are not aware of that could head for Earth. Need to also worry about the threats of Solar Flares from our sun that could play havoc with our Electricity grids. The Earth is very fragile from cosmic events.
Thanks for the video.
Yep study that SOB. Learn everything that you can from the flyby. Just in case the next visits become toooooo close.
They need to catch the asteroid on its path relatively near other planets like venus where they can send it out of even solar system by using the venus's gravitional force
No
@@jussikankinen9409 Yes
A rock doesn’t have a plan. It’s inanimate
Good job Jimmy corsetti I love your work keep up the great work and trying to make all of us think maybe and I there is something to do with harmonic residence maybe they figured out a frequency of the stone and the Amplified that frequency until it canceled gravity I agree with Tesla that the universe is energy frequency and vibration that's why I believe in the electrical universe theory and plasma physics the Thunderbolts project had some trippy mythological stories of Their Own I agree with some and some I don't but there's also a lot of ancient archeology that they dubbed through the finest evidence please check out the Thunderbolts project the electrical universe theory see the pattern Sky scholar Dish channels are going to help us understand a new scientific paradigm to the point where we might be able to understand how they move these Stones using Sonic resonance thank you Jim corsetti for all you do keep up the great work and good luck on your next microphone
Go attach a huge parachute to Apophis...just in case...that should slow it down if it enters Earth's atmosphere...
I am not so bothered by the apocalyptic potential, as this guy constantly saying the big rock's name that way.! Maybe I'm totally wrong, but I have never heard that mythic creature's name said this way.!
Also, there's other things involved in altering interstellar matter orbit potentials to take into consideration as well. Top of the list is..gravity of everything it passes as it travels.
Of course, the seemingly bigger things, will be the things..that are likely to literally hit it..on to a slightly to very different path.
Beings so advanced it's mind-boggling.
Private companys on our planet a competing to do stupid things so dangerous potential is a high exponential of possible calamity.
Maybe a solution looking inward and using earths gravity against the asteroid might be the way. Altogether it should be crunch time for humanity to put its best heads together, forget the problems, and defend our world.
World dont need humans
