With rumours of the billionaires building doomsday bunkers, it would not surprise me if they already know the chances of hitting earth are greater than we are told
@@LATINHANDS65 Getting to rebuild the planet however you want, your genetics become the future genetics of all humans, you are remembered as the god who brought human life to earth after enough generations for your name to become legacy to those who survive.
If there was an asteroid that was going to hit earth they would not tell the public, instead they would just say they are studying it or just attempting to divert it as an experiment.
First of all, this asteroid is known for thousands of years. God's chosen people, the Jews knows about. It is written about it in the Bible. Foolishly, NASA talked about it already in the 80', and even without them talking, there's more space programs worldwide that check those things. So while NASA can try to hide it, it won't work and NASA will go broke if it will make such a transparent lie. Secondly, one tsar Bomb will wipe this asteroid to oblivion pushing the debris away from earth, and don't worry about radiation. The solar system is moving through space so next year Earth will be in totally different place in space and it will take around 225-250 million years to comeback to the same area.
that is why the rich are trying to get richer to be able to afford 100 million dollar basements for the incoming asteroid we are not aware of.... that is why they inflate the prices of their goods!!!
You're actually right on. It is likely that it will indeed miss earth in 2029, assuming that no collisions in the intervening time deflects her orbit towards earth by a trivial amount. The more likely scenario is that it will pass through an exceedingly narrow gravitational keyhole; deflecting its orbit such that exactly 7 years later, on April 13, 2036, it will return heading more or less right for us.
@@tehmtbz The keyhole you mentioned exists but its size has been refined downwards progressively over the years. By 2008 its size was determined to be only 1km wide, when initially its size was thought to be 800km wide. The probability that Apophis will hit this keyhole is very small.
This could also carry a lot of plasma and zap or hit some satellites taking down the internet or GPS. Why do you think Musk is creating a new internet system, just in time for apophis
One to three Starships, fueled up and accelerated to a similar velocity in orbit to rendezvous would be prudent. Proportionally they should be able to do more than Dart did against a 160 meter target. Changing it’s course by just a few degrees is all that is needed. If we get hit by a few fragments, in the process, the trade off would be worth it. They could be autonomous or even remotely piloted by a crew in orbit, rather like we do with drones. Assuming development continues as planned, there should be a few Starships available and in orbit by then and the refueling infrastructure in place to do this type of mission rather easily. An empty Starship makes a 5,000 ton impactor, which should be sufficient, and if there are 2 or 3 in formation, then we could assess the results from the first try and repeat with a varied angle or timing till we get the desired result. A payload mass could be used, even explosives. But keeping it as a simple billiards shot reduces variables.
*That IS safe. Do some research. You will see what NOT safe is. Almost 2.5 times the width of the Earth will be how close it passes.* Earth Apophis *( )---------------○* The asteroid is 0.375 Km in its longest measurement. The Earth is 12,742 Km across. The asteroid is *33,978.66 TIMES* smaller than the Earth.
According to Tora codes it will pass on 4/13/2029 blazing which means it is less than 6100 miles above earth. It will not hit us but will be much closer than NASA says it will
It is. It will pass by earth on April 13, 2029 and come back exactly seven years later to date on April 13, 2036 and hit earth on Easter Sunday. Can't get any more biblically than that.
My concern is that Apophis has recently been discribed as a rubbel pile type. Making me wonder if this close pass will loosen some of the rubble and head that to earth.
its just rubble most will burn in the atmosphere, and that also means Apophis when will hit us for good, have much less mass and thus cause less destruction....
As I see it, Apophis will pass within the Earth’s Roche limit and shed rocks that aren’t attached by vacuum weld. These rocks will have diverse small velocities with respect to Apophis center of mass. It looks like they won’t hit geostationary satellites on the way out; however, some of those rocks may come back to Earth in '29, '36 etc. I favor bagging a conglomerate asteroid with Kevlar mesh and bleeding off rocks on one side to change the bulk velocity. If you run the rocks slowly out along a Kevlar strand, then the rotation will launch the rocks with significant momentum. And that changes the momentum of the asteroid.
I think you make a very cogent point in the comparison with Oumuamua. If we call that an asteroid, and we can't explain its trajectory, why should we assume that we can deterministically assert the path of Apophis?
@@alecepting1371 Except that we've been observing Apophis' path for 20 plus years. This was Oumuamua's first trip by the Sun, ever. Nothing is being assumed. All predictions are based on a long baseline of previous observations for Apophis. There is no equivalency between Apophis and Oumuamua.
Tom Horn (God Bless his soul)(his book "The wormwood prophesy") told us about Apophis for a reason, GOD always warns his children of impending danger. Great video of possible outcomes in 2029...... Worthwhile watch..
If Elon started a NEO (Near Earth Object) defence fund and promoted it he could raise a huge amount of money especially if people & governments globally chipped in. Then use the $$ for a side project building a defence platform.
@Gfysimpletons You sound like an angry 17 year old. What have you made? How many ppl do you employ? Nothing, and no one. You're just some random loser, who thinks they're better than Elon Musk.
In order for an asteroid path altering probe to be effective it needs to take place LONG before the close encounter, preferably several orbits in advance. The course correction that current technology could pull off would be extremely small, so the more advanced timing would have the greatest effect.
What I just asked ChatGPT. Given what we know about landing on asteroids, reaction control systems and boosters capable of affecting the orbit of satellites; calculate the possible, plausible and or probable mathematics to land a spacecraft on Apophis capable of changing its orbit to have the asteroid 2004 MN4 impact Earth in 2029? ANSWER!!! While theoretically possible, the practical and ethical challenges of altering Apophis's orbit to ensure an Earth impact are immense. The mathematics suggest that significant Δv can be achieved with current technology, but the precision required and the potential risks make this scenario highly improbable and inadvisable. It remains a topic for theoretical exploration rather than practical application.
There is also the threat that it will miss in 29 but pass by close enough for Earth's gravitational pull to alter its trajectory enough that it swings back around and hits us in 2036. We aren't safe if it only misses once, but that is exactly how people will treat it.
Actually, the gravitational pull will be enough to swing the asteroid into an orbit that will eliminate all threats of impact for another 100 years at least.
If this space rock doesn't bring this planet's squabbling tribes together to face this potentially existential threat, I believe nothing will (in our lifetime). Kind of sad, actually!
A worldwide pandemic didn't unite people it just made more divisions, global warming is an ongoing existential threat but that also seems to be the root of more arguments than solutions. Then there's global instability due to religious and political views. We're just territorial bald monkeys with nukes and an inability to think long term. I'd say god help us but alas I'm an atheist. On the other hand these factors maybe the driving forces that pushes us to find a way to other worlds
Humans are sad for so many reasons. And they love to be afraid of things that aren't going to happen. Even if there were a chance this would hit us, it wouldn't bring people together. Humans are killing themselves as fast as they can, who cares if a rock does it for us?
My question is, "Is he bringing friends?" In other words, smaller ones that are caught in it wake perhaps...I hope not. This thing is just too damn close for my tastes. Good video!
Im worried now because I have been researching Apophis for 3 weeks now! I had come to conslusion that it will barely miss Earth BUT now I'm worried I could be wrong after this video dropping since it had been silent about this asteriod for a while not hearing much...now all the sudden a video uploads about it....idk maybe this is what all the bunkers around the world are preparing for?
@@ciscornBIG I got a bunker...but at this point I think the elites know more than us to the point where im not actually prepared enough. Just like the Romans, the US will reset in terms of power
@@ciscornBIGMaybe. But try not to be such a downer. There’s finally a possibility of deflecting things like this. Hope for the best-PREPARE for the worst.
Yes. I've been waiting for the explanation of the bunkers. Also John Moore did many talks about how the ocean levels will rise and flood most of the east coast, Florida gone, Louisiana gone east coast of Texas flooded, etc.
The long term yearly stock market formation is (coincidentally) setting up for a massive crash at around Q1 of 2029 at a critical Fibonacci time level. It’s amazing how nature works.
Thanks for talking about this! I'm not doubting the scientists at all here, but I wish they were more open about the margin of error here. What if grazes the atmosphere to get just enough friction? What if it happens to smack into a geosynchronous satellite? What if we just miscalculated enough for a 40K km discrepancy? I feel like most sources are a little too quick to say "nah, it won't hit" when nothing this scary has ever come this close before.
With how much panic there is on global warming and how much the media loves panic points for views I doubt that if there was a threat they wouldn't broadcast it everywhere. Those guys (NASA) are experts that have been doing this stuff for decades, they know how to calculate rocket trajectories and how to safely dock crafts in the void. I trust they've probably crunched all the numbers they could think of. Even if it was to hit us, what can we even do?
We should build the Breakthrough Starshot laser system then use it to help deflect asteroids and NEOs that are deemed to be a potential threat to the Earth. Over and above the project's goal of sending a probe to Proxima Centauri, the benefit that its laser could have in the role of asteroid defense could make the project well worth it.
@victorkrawchuk9141, I didn't know about "Breakthrough" at all. Just a little reading tells me that maybe you're right if it's "laser" can be used for that purpose. I'm honestly surprised that we don't already have some sort of "NEO space laser defense system." Earth based laser systems make more sense at least on the surface, no pun intended, given we already have some Military laser defense systems in testing/use. Idk what the requirements would be tho to build an Earth-based laser defense system which could target objects in space. It's just that the thought of orbital laser defense systems are a scary thought for obvious reasons that "someone or a group" could turn the laser towards Earth.... Then we have to consider what would the expense be of Earth or space-based laser defense systems be given the numbers of them we'd have to build so they could target all possible directions at any given time as opposed to waiting to achieve certain orbits or Earth rotation when it may be "a matter of minutes." As for their "Starshot" - "sending nanocraft upwards of 100M mph".... "Nano" is supremely tiny so I'm not sure of their idea of "proof of concept" when photons in light are ultra tiny. If a photon is in the picometer (-15) range, nanometer (-12), it's still significant by -3 decimal places but it's not like the difference of a beach ball and the Earth. Even at Voyager 1 speeds it'd take over ~70,000 yrs to reach Proxima at ~4.2 LYs. Even if our spacecraft could achieve speeds 10x's that (the estimated speeds the Solar Parker Probe reached by the time it'd enter it's orbit around the Sun), it'd still be over ~7,000 yrs. There is a HUGE gap between these space probes and "Breakthrough's" "Nanocraft" idea, let alone a manned spacecraft, especially one with any real sort of "life support systems, cargo hold" etc. Then we have to deal with radiation since any human, the most important "cargo" but also any systems would not have the additional protection of Earth's magnetic field. Water has been said to be a good insulator against radiation & clearly some water is needed for crew but how much water since 1gln of water weighs ~8.33 lbs and added weight to a launch means added fuel and expense for conventional space launch systems. Given these guys are talking about a "nanocraft" how will additional weight affect "laser travel systems?" So much to be addressed. I feel like more time/$$ is wasted in "space related systems" than is useful for practical application which at least NASA and other agencies have proven already just at enormous expense, the worst being human lives. Elon is working on his "Starship" & he's making some progress but I'd like to have seen him and SpaceX come up with the first real "artificial gravity system" so we could have a REAL "Starship" where people can conduct their "space work" as if on Earth rather than as if "under water."
@@zenithperigee7442 Breakthrough Starshot envisions sending a fleet of centimeter-sized nanocraft with 5-meter-diameter lightsails to Proxima Centauri. Each of the nanocraft would be accelerated to 15-20% the speed of light over a period of about 10-40 minutes using a large "multi-kilometer" 100GW laser array, and as such they would reach the target star in about 20-30 years. Being so small, these nanocraft would not be used to carry people. Even if they could, there would be nothing to slow down and stop the craft once they reached the target star, so it would basically be a suicide mission for any human. The current plan calls for placing the laser on the Earth's surface, but to address the security concerns that you and many others have, I would instead propose that the laser be placed on the far side of the Moon. Nothing on the Earth could ever be targeted by the laser, and furthermore the laser would be more efficient or could be made smaller because it wouldn't have to punch through the Earth's atmosphere to reach the nanocraft. The downside is the expense of building the laser array on the Moon, and also the fact that the nanocraft would first have to be launched to a point beyond the Moon before the lasers could accelerate them. At the proposed power of about 100GW the lasers would accelerate the nanocraft to the target speed at a rate of about 10,000G. While this is still a small force when dealing with Apophis-sized asteroids and NEOs, we could start focusing the laser on an asteroid almost as soon as a threat is identified. There would be no project delay, launch delay, or travel delay of a DART-style interceptor craft. By using the laser over a long period of time, the asteroid's path could be changed by vaporizing parts of the surface of the asteroid to generate thrust to steer it as we need. Because the lasers would be used for only a very short period of time for each nanocraft, there should be very little or no impact on the Breakthrough Starshot project if the laser array is redirected towards a threatening asteroid. By reclassifying the Breakthrough Starshot project as a planetary defense project, perhaps this could provide the additional funding that would be necessary to build the laser array on the Moon instead of the Earth. Regarding the act of targeting photons on such small nanocraft, remember that light is both a particle and a wave. Otherwise, ff light was only made from particle photons, imagine the number of photons that would have to be generated by the most distant objects in the universe to allow them to be visible by something the size of a human eye on the Earth. Seeing the light by an eye, or feeling the laser on a nanocraft, is an act of observation that resolves the waves to particles as necessary. Regarding Starships, there are various plans to create artificial gravity on Starships that will be traveling through deep space. They involve things such as adding extendable living/sleeping modules to a Starship that would be rotated, or by tying two Starships together nose-to-nose and spinning the two together to create gravity. A single Starship is actually big enough that you could simply rotate it on its axis to create 1/6 G on the inside of the outer surface without causing too much nausea on the passengers or crew. Many people say we shouldn't go to space before we fix the problems on the Earth, but I think that we won't be able to fix these problems WITHOUT going to space. Over and above the protection from threatening asteroids that space exploration would buy us, the Direct-to-Cell function of Starlink that has just started being deployed would allow cellphones to use Starlink satellites as cell towers anywhere on the Earth. The recent earthquake in Japan has illustrated this, as cell service was completely knocked out in the affect area. SpaceX has shipped many Starlink dishes/routers to Japan to help restore Internet service to the affected people. Had Direct-to-Cell already been available, anyone with KDDI cellphone service in the affected area in Japan would not have experienced any disruption in service at all after the earthquake. Even non-KDDI customers might have been able to make SOS calls (911, or 110 in Japan) using Starlink. Furthermore, the scale of the problems on the Earth might be beyond the reach of the Earth's financial systems to resolve. This is why we need to create a Solar System based economy and financial system using resources such as platinum from asteroid 16 Psyche. With the $quintillions in metals that are mine-able in the asteroid belt, if they are handled properly we could start to address the Earth's problems by first eliminating things like the US National Debt. With no debt and a good credit record, a properly-focussed government in the US could make huge strides in eliminating hunger, poverty, and disease.
@@zenithperigee7442 I would place the laser system for Breakthrough Starshot on the far side of the Moon. This way there would be no chance of using it to target anything on the Earth. You have a point about there already potentially being laser technology that could be used for this project, but I think the scale and size of the laser system would be unprecedented. By "nano" they mean "ships" that are just a few meters across regarding the size of their light sails . Still, the lasers would have to be powerful enough to accelerate these ships to about 20% of the speed of light in just a few hours. The acceleration would be extreme, far more than a human could tolerate, and it would even stretch the tolerance limits of computer, sensor, and communications equipment, which would in turn have to be made extremely small to fit inside a core module just a few centimeters wide. The fact that these lasers would have to be so big and powerful, then just be used for a few hours at a time to accelerate a nanoship, probably means they would have a lot of downtime when they could be put to good use elsewhere. If they are used as part of a defense against asteroid hits on the Earth, the large budget that would be necessary for this project could perhaps be more easily justified to Congress, or perhaps even partly taken out of the defense budget.
If you can get a nuclear powered mass accellerator on its surface you can use its own rock/ice as reaction mass and fly the ASTEROID wherever you want! Its near earth so its relative orbital energy is minimal, so small changes in acceleration early make a big difference.
OSIRIS-APEX won't reach Apophis until about 5 days before the NEO's closest approach to the Earth on April 13th 2029. There would be very little time for the probe to affect the path of the NEO.
@@victorkrawchuk9141 The probe is such a tiny fraction of the mass of the bodies that really do affect Apophis' path, the Sun, Earth, the Moon and Jupiter in that order, that OSIRIS-APEX will have as much an impact on Apophis as a fly hit by a car on the highway. The effect will be so small there will be no possible way to measure it.
@@RockinRobbins13 Actually, since there is virtually no chance that Apophis will hit the Earth in 2029, I'm wondering if the main concern is to make sure Apophis misses the 1km keyhole that would send it on a collision course with the Earth in 2036. If it looks like a hit might be likely, might a DART-like impact from OSIRIS-APEX be enough to change its path sufficiently, with only 5 days left? Apophis is bigger than Dimorphos, but not by very much. Due to the small size of the keyhole, the NEO's trajectory might not have to be changed by much.
I’m a metal worker. You make a wrong measurement of 1/16”, over a 40’ or so span the miss-measurement can grow to feet on the other end. Just saying I’m sure this apples to all things measured.
There was some documentary about an asteroid hitting that is the same size as the one that killed the dinos. Stupidly, they made it hit the exact same spot. Not believable. It would hit somewhere else.
We are entering a peak in solar activity. It is not hard to imagine that an increase in solar wind and CMEs (coronal mass ejections) could have an effect on the orbit of Apophis this far out from its encounter with Earth and its moon.
I would like to know the mins and maximum values NASA used in calculating solar wind/CME disturbances to Apothis' orbit. It's going to be close and you are right in saying, "not much deviation to play with."
Chances are, we don't have to worry about any outgassing from Apophis. Its orbit is too regular around the sun. Outgassing is more of a concern with deep-space objects that come in from areas like the Kuiper belt. It generally happens when objects with frozen pockets of gasses get close enough to the Sun to melt those gasses causing them to expand and erupt. Apophis is an inner solar system object with an orbit mostly inside of our own. If it had such pockets of gasses, they have long since burned up. Out of curiosity, where did you get your pronunciation of Apophis? I've never heard it with that hard O sound before and I love learning about quirky linguistics trivia. :)
It doesn’t have to hit earth. It just has to knock anything in space and we could turn out to have more than just one rock falling on earth. I think I’m not the only one that knows that if anything is gonna fall on earth that big , the government will not tell us.
If it hits one, it may be enough to destroy the entire asteroid, assuming it's a loose pile of gravel. It would send rocks in all directions, entering earth's atmosphere and taking out satellites. It would be a disaster.
@@austin-multicellular when DART impacted Dimorphos, which is much smaller than Apophis, it did not destroy it, though it did throw a bunch of debris out. And in such an impact during the close approach, most of the debris would retain the original velocity, and thus not impact earth.
It's unlikely to hit any satellites. In the scale of space it's tiny, the satellites are even smaller and that far away from earth they are spread out by thousands of miles. Apophis is about 3x the size of the ISS by area.
I'm in total agreement with this statement and it is a certainty that our planet's gravity will pull it in. Also I see in the orbit of Apophis that it crosses earth's orbit twice not once so it looks like there is a much greater chance of it hitting because of that.
The Chicxulub asteroid was over 10km in diameter, it's the one that we think killed the dinosaurs. The impact in Siberia you are talking about was called the Tunguska event and the rock that cause it is believed to be 50-60 metres not 18. Apophis is 335 meters so 6-7 times the size of the rock that caused the Tunguska event.
The one he mentioned that was 18 meters was the one from just a few years ago that exploded in the air and was captured on numerous dashcams and other things blowing out windows all over the place. The Tunguska event or whatever was a far different one.
I have been watching this for a few years as its description dovetails quite nicely with the description in Revelation 8:-10 "When the second angel blew his trumpet, something like a huge mountain burning with fire was thrown into the sea. One-third of the sea turned into blood, one-third of the creatures that were living in the sea died, and one-third of the ships was destroyed." Of course it's just a coincidence nothing to see here!
Apophis is coming so close that any unexpected outgassing could cause it to hit . Anyway , even if NASA thought it was going to hit us they wouldn't admit it . They wouldn't want to create a panic . Personally speaking I think it's 50/50 whether it strikes the earth or not .
The US has been working on a solution for this for years and years, in fact people have seen it already but didn’t know what it was for. It’s an unmanned space shuttle that’s design to easily get it into space and land on a meteor to change its trajectory. People originally had theories that it was for taking weapons into outer space and shooting them from space but it’s not for that it’s for the meteor. The uav is called the x37b
I did some back-of-the-envelope calculations, and that's a very narrow margin for it to whiz by at 20,000 miles. That means the difference between the close pass and impact is a difference of only 20 minutes! (ʘ_ʘ)
The even scarier thing is in 2019 one passed even closer and we didn't see it until it was closer then the moon. It wasn't as big, it was 30-60 meters but still enough to cause a multiple megaton impact. It was named "2019ok" if you haven't heard of it
@@kenanacampora I came to the same number. Since Apophis is traveling in nearly the same orbit as earth around the sun it's also at about the same speed. Take the distance from the sun times 2 to get the diameter of its orbit, that's 186 million miles. Divide by 365, then divide by 24. Now you have the speed it's traveling, 66,705mph. Dive the distrance expected to come by earth (20,000) by that 66K and you get almost .3 of an hour or very close to 20 minutes.
I have my doubts about the wildfire part of this projection. I think that any shockwave producing wind gusts upwards of 1,000mph would likely leave a vacuum in it's wake, suffocating most if not all fires. Just my 2 cents.
*The Chelyabinsk, Russia metero came INTO our atmosphere. There is a HUGE difference. It broke up 14 miles (22.5 Km) above the ground. I wonder why it caused devestation.* *Apophis is 19.75 times the size of the Chelyabinsk meteor. However, Apophis will be passing Earth at 80,000 times the distance of the Chelyabinsk meteor. So, it won't impact us.*
Pacific Ocean (1/3rd of earths seas) simulation would be interesting. Also, if 13th April 2036 (2nd time around) would be a more likely impact date. “And the second angel sounded, and as it were a great mountain burning with fire was cast into the sea: and the third part of the sea became blood;” Revelations 8:8 Maybe on your next update?
Yeah like Hebrews 11 unnumbered stars as sand of sea. That a very bold statement when you can see just over 4k stars by the naked eye. But we now know that stars far out vast all the grains of sands of the whole earth. Oh what about Jeremiah 10 God stretched the heavens, well that was also proven right by the “red shift”. The Hubble has proven the universe is actually being stretched. But the biggest missed prophecy in Ezekiel 34:13 about Israel becoming a nation again. Oh wait that did come true in May 14th 1948. Wow, a people lost there nation and after 2k years later they have their nation back! Not only is that astonishing that it happened… it happened on the exact day it was prophesied to happen. Sure 10,000 bogus prophecies… find me 10 or even 1?
The worrying part is that this is just one of many object out there, it was only discovered in 2004 when it came reasonably "close", and we don't really have anything that can be used to prevent an impact with Earth. The objects that we do track and know about might only be a fraction (we really don't know how many, where, how big, or the composition of most of them). We need something that can be used at short notice to deflect or destroy potential hazardous objects.
Stationing an asteroid deflector at the gateway is brilliant. It can be maintained there and is outside most of earths gravity well. Having some sort of standby deflector is absolutely necessary for long term survival. It should be pretty large because we won't know the size of the asteroid it needs to deflect when it is built. This makes it expensive. But if we all die because we didn't pay for this, was it really a good deal?
Are you talking the Lunar Gateway station? What Robert Zubrin calls the Lunar Tollbooth? I would be happy to see any practical reason for its existence besides collecting import tariffs for commerce to the Moon. It's role for human landing systems is utterly absurd and completely pointless, but I digress. In this case, I suppose a missile system might be used to deflect an asteroid. But other orbital positions would be better like the Earth-Sun Lagrangian points
Thank you, Angry. After the movie Armageddon it was made clear that we were tracking only a tiny piece of the sky for asteroids. It didn't take very long after the movie release to up the tracking budget. Another movie might be the quickest way to get the attention of people who can get this risk taken care of.
Instead of sinking the ISS into some ocean we could use it as a projectile to defend Earth against some malicious asteroid. Needs just some thrust device which has to be added to the ISS when it goes out of service.
The ISS weighs essentially nothing compared to an asteroid of that size. Using it to divert something that big means a) adding a huge amount of dV to move it way out of earth's orbit. and b) impacting the asteroid far enough away from Earth that the tiny change in the asteroid's path is enough to cause it to miss Earth. But b) also means trusting our modeling of that trajectory change, which is exactly what Angry is saying we're not capable of. We'd possibly be _creating_ the impact event by altering its trajectory.
@@oasntet Also because of it's shape, significant portion of it's energy would be wasted in deformation of it's structure during impact. I hope SpaceX will figure out Starship and orbital refueling soon. 200+ tons accelerated to speeds capable of reaching moon or mars and beyond is bound to push Apophis a little.
Also another thought, with the obesity problems we have in the west, and the iss lacking sufficient mass to essentially matter.. Just send a few hundred chubbies to perform the ultimate sacrifice.. I mean what good human wouldn’t give their existence in order to protect their offspring/loved ones..
Since most of space is not Earth, any random change to its vector would be far more likely, to make apophis far less likely to hit Earth. In other words, bring on the random change. Space along this trajectory is 99+ percent empty. Only one key hole leads to Earth. All other paths lead Apophis further away. I do agree a standby capability to adjust the orbit of smaller asteroids would be nice to have. But until (unless) starship makes it affordable to create such a program, I'd rather see that money go to additional US nuclear submarines. There are much bigger threats to life on Earth, living on Earth.
Common sense! It works just about every time it's tried. Part of our paranoia here is not realizing that these asteroids have been in orbit around the Sun for billions of years without impacting Earth. Why would they not have settled into a harmonic orbit like every other solar system object, such that collisions with Earth won't happen? Yes, every hundred thousand years or so Earth does get hit, but it's survived being defenseless for 4 billion years. What's changed? We have. Our fears have. The fears are not justified.
Rev 8:8 And the second angel sounded, and as it were a GREAT MOUNTAIN BURNING with fire was CAST into the sea: and the third part of the sea became blood;
I always thought it was interesting that the copper slug used on the Deep Impact research mission some good time back was pretty much the same dimensions and mass as a nuclear warhead already in the U.S. arsenal. (In theory it wouldn't be much of a stretch to swap one out for the other.) That mission succeeded in terms of direct targeting and the data collected. Thus it could count as being a trial run of sorts. So maybe there is some kind of contingency plan for things like this behind the scenes that the public isn't all that aware of? How much of a shove that could give an asteroid isn't quite known, but it may be enough to do the trick.
What i believe we need to start is orbit based mining of asteroids and the moon.there are various valuable and vital resources outside of earth that can be used to further exporation and colonization of space and other planets. A plus side to this is waste products that can be turned into kinetic projectiles to divert potentially dangerous objects.
Didn't the movie Don't Look Up have the capitalists wanting to mine the asteroid and not working and eventually it collided, think we should just destroy it and not give it any second chances
If govts couldn’t be bothered to spend money to put in place a Pandemic Plan (global pandemic has been the UK’s #1 risk on its national risk register for many years) who seriously believes their politicians are going to spend money on something like this?
If only cosmology would conceed the fact that the EM force is present on an intergalactic scale.... Seems absurd to reason that gravity alone condensed clouds of diffuse particulate matter into a central region with such density to trigger stellar formation. The pressure difference of the cloud relative to the surrounding void alone would be enough to overcome G.
Kinda relieved that it’s impact is relatively “state-size”. Was worried it could be a “continent-breaker” 😅 Just gotta make sure to stay tf out of the way & avoid coastlines
Europe or usa. I think europe, usa still has its use in future wars. Nasa has done some simulation of what happens if one of them hits europe. I dont think there is an astroid, just an excuse to blow up europe.
@@giftsvampenhaha wont hit Europe and trust me on this they dont control space rocks. And this is a real rock as of you have a Telescope big enough you can when see this thing. So its not just govurments that track this rock.
Information about Apophis is very tightly controlled. If you google it, and limit the search to 24 hours, you will note very similar wording in all the "articles" that appear, and they appear every day. I noticed this strange similarity in wording twice before in political news, but tell the FBI i cannot remember which. Some things you simply cannot Google, like the rubble, the 100% accuracy coefficient of Apophis calculations versus 99% Bennu calculations, and the Yarkovsky effect. If I type Apophis...Asteroid...Audiobook with the A-word added, this post will disappear again but you CAN Google it at this stage. But for how long?
I looked up the closest point will be over the Atlantic Ocean and if it explodes and turns into Ejecta, the fall out will sprinkle over the American area. Scary!
Knocking us back to a stone age existence. I strongly suspect this has happened to us many times. Consider the megalithic and polygonal structures around the world. That we still can't move (1 to 1000 tons) or make. What our academia doesn't understand, they ignore.
Yes, the previous occupants of Earth left us warnings in stone ...everywhere, but we just dont want to hear it. After all, there's till so much shopping left to do.
Aren't they able to figure out where it would land? And wouldn't it be wise to slowly start clearing this area? April seems to be a short window already.
Yes, of course. There is a "keyhole" close to the path of Apophis such that if it passes through it, the NEO will be placed on a certain collision course with the Earth in 2036. However, this keyhole has been determined to be only 1km wide, and the likelihood that Apophis will pass through it is very small.
@user-ow6uo3ms4i Jesus Christ, the only begotten Son of God , that lived a sinless life ,die on a wooden cross, and after 3 days, God rose Jesus from the dead, and is alive at the right hand of God.. Jesus died for the sins of the world ,the sinless for the sinner. Jesus came the first time meek like a lamb, but coming back as King of Kings and Lord of Lord . "For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son,that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. "He who believes in Him is not condemned;but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.. So the good news is ,God sent His Son to die in our place and take our punishment for our sins, the righteous for the unrighteous. Our response is to believe and repent and be water baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins, and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit . This scripture is found in the Bible in Acts 2:38 and call on the name of the Lord Roman's 10:9-10. Take care, I hope you well . If you have a hard time with this , just pray and ask Jesus Christ if He is real ..
@rick7013 number one, it's been less than 2000 years since Jesus Christ burial ,resurrection, and by you saying that it's another sign of His sion return.
Interesting post. There are related factors. We tend to focus on the impact blast as if a very large H-bomb. The reality would include tectonic shifts and fractures to crustal plate, ergo volcanic eruptions and earthquakes. Let's not forget the atmospheric ejecta darkening much or all of Earth, triggering an unnatural cold wave, crop failures, and massive deaths of both ocean going and land dwelling animals. An atmospheric explosion of unparalleled force is seperate from the downward impact into the Earth possibly cracking the crust, but also transmitting a downward shock wave into the liquid center. Also triggering new earthquakes across the world, hence more tsunamis. If Apophis touches down it's game over for civilization as we know it.
Some of you are grossly underestimating the scale here. Geosynchronous orbit is about 35,000 miles up and the largest satellites are the size of SUV's. They are separated by thousands of miles. There is no chance of a collision.
This is where my tinfoil hat comes on and I pray to the universe that if UFO’s/UAP’s really are what we have been being told recently, that some non human intelligence would be able to change its path.
Not sure about miles, but it could be 1,000 feet + a few hundred feet. And, it would also depend on where in the ocean it would hit. There was Seer, I think he was in Costa Rica some years ago, who seen this asteroid hit the ocean somewhere in the Caribbean. Maybe someone can verify?
The Earth has always been the worst place to position telescopes to search for NEOs, because their orbits are such that you can really only work for a short time after sunset and a short time before sunrise every day. Starlink satellites won't significantly change this. Nevertheless, the NEO Surveyor telescope is scheduled to launch to the Earth's L1 point in June 2028, and its primary focus will be to complete the search for NEOs that might be a threat to the Earth.
Great video thank you, I subscribed! Would you please do a video regarding how far away the explosion cloud could be seen? Use central US maybe Kansas as an impact point.
Fortunately for me, only yesterday I was able to unburden myself of a major concern which hung like a stone around my neck for some years. How fortuitous that I have freed up the emotional bandwidth required to dread the days left before being smote by fire and brimstone. Or the megatsunami which will scour to bedrock beaches around the earth, inland for tens and hundreds of miles. Then there is the year long torrential downpours that will occur following the flash boiling of millions of cubic meters of seawater. Hoping they can suck all the shit out of my storm drains at least once more before 2029. Since I'm only about 40 feet above sea level, maybe I'll start packing now to head for the hills once projections are a little less fuzzy. Never could have imagined that my fate may be a biblical smiting.
What would be crazy is a near near miss, like a grazing of the very upper layers of the atmosphere. That would change things sociopolitically and in other ways very much IMHO. I wonder if we’ll be able to see it with binoculars even on its present course.
You can bet your bottom dollar, plenty of Earth Telescopes will be pointed at it. And as there are more Classified Telescopes pointed at Earth the size of Hubble, than looking at the stars there won't be any shortage of observations of this historic transit so close to Earths orbit. Plenty of Classified space Telescopes will be re-tasked to observe it I suspect...
I read just recently it would be easily visible to the naked eye if it keeps its predicted course by like 2029 or something along those lines- but it was a nasa website
Work well done… Apaophis will certainly soften us up for an ETerrestrial arrival leaning towards dependence. However, could you also speak about what effects a miss and gravitational effects on earth would have from such a close pass (with possible smaller accompanying asteroids?
We have near misses often. The mass is not similar to the mass of the moon and therefore will not have similar tidal effects. The main issue is Just getting hit directly
With rumours of the billionaires building doomsday bunkers, it would not surprise me if they already know the chances of hitting earth are greater than we are told
100% truth they are doing just that. I don't know if it is because of this rock but bunkers are being built.
@@lizardking6613 it's either that or it's because we are so close to world war 3

If there was an asteroid that was going to hit earth they would not tell the public, instead they would just say they are studying it or just attempting to divert it as an experiment.
It wouldn't matter anyway... If we can't stop it we can't worry about it. We live forever anyways.
they need more brains to solve the problem.... that is why they are going public...
First of all, this asteroid is known for thousands of years. God's chosen people, the Jews knows about. It is written about it in the Bible.
Foolishly, NASA talked about it already in the 80', and even without them talking, there's more space programs worldwide that check those things. So while NASA can try to hide it, it won't work and NASA will go broke if it will make such a transparent lie.
Secondly, one tsar Bomb will wipe this asteroid to oblivion pushing the debris away from earth, and don't worry about radiation. The solar system is moving through space so next year Earth will be in totally different place in space and it will take around 225-250 million years to comeback to the same area.
The Earth has had many close calls, and impacts long before we arrived... and it will happen again.
that is why the rich are trying to get richer to be able to afford 100 million dollar basements for the incoming asteroid we are not aware of.... that is why they inflate the prices of their goods!!!
Even if it misses us, I would think it passing so close could effect its orbit for its next close pass.
You're actually right on. It is likely that it will indeed miss earth in 2029, assuming that no collisions in the intervening time deflects her orbit towards earth by a trivial amount. The more likely scenario is that it will pass through an exceedingly narrow gravitational keyhole; deflecting its orbit such that exactly 7 years later, on April 13, 2036, it will return heading more or less right for us.
@@tehmtbz The keyhole you mentioned exists but its size has been refined downwards progressively over the years. By 2008 its size was determined to be only 1km wide, when initially its size was thought to be 800km wide. The probability that Apophis will hit this keyhole is very small.
This could also carry a lot of plasma and zap or hit some satellites taking down the internet or GPS. Why do you think Musk is creating a new internet system, just in time for apophis
@@tehmtbz Even the most anemic response should be sufficient to deflect an asteroid by 2036.
One to three Starships, fueled up and accelerated to a similar velocity in orbit to rendezvous would be prudent. Proportionally they should be able to do more than Dart did against a 160 meter target. Changing it’s course by just a few degrees is all that is needed. If we get hit by a few fragments, in the process, the trade off would be worth it. They could be autonomous or even remotely piloted by a crew in orbit, rather like we do with drones.
Assuming development continues as planned, there should be a few Starships available and in orbit by then and the refueling infrastructure in place to do this type of mission rather easily. An empty Starship makes a 5,000 ton impactor, which should be sufficient, and if there are 2 or 3 in formation, then we could assess the results from the first try and repeat with a varied angle or timing till we get the desired result. A payload mass could be used, even explosives. But keeping it as a simple billiards shot reduces variables.
Wikipedia says it will "safely pass Earth" at about 30,000 Km - I'd hardly call that safe.
*That IS safe. Do some research. You will see what NOT safe is. Almost 2.5 times the width of the Earth will be how close it passes.*
Earth Apophis

The asteroid is 0.375 Km in its longest measurement.
The Earth is 12,742 Km across.
The asteroid is *33,978.66 TIMES* smaller than the Earth.
Maybe Apophis is Wormwood
It sure is on track at the right time!
According to Tora codes it will pass on 4/13/2029 blazing which means it is less than 6100 miles above earth. It will not hit us but will be much closer than NASA says it will
Yes. It is unequivocally Wormword directly from Revelation.
It is. It will pass by earth on April 13, 2029 and come back exactly seven years later to date on April 13, 2036 and hit earth on Easter Sunday. Can't get any more biblically than that.
@@rogerbec5766 it is. Will hit Puerto-Rico area with huge tsunami reaching Europe.
My concern is that Apophis has recently been discribed as a rubbel pile type. Making me wonder if this close pass will loosen some of the rubble and head that to earth.
its just rubble most will burn in the atmosphere, and that also means Apophis when will hit us for good, have much less mass and thus cause less destruction....
I think this is exactly what's going to happen.
Almost guaranteed to happen, just hope they are all of such size and energy that they burn up in the atmosphere
As I see it, Apophis will pass within the Earth’s Roche limit and shed rocks that aren’t attached by vacuum weld. These rocks will have diverse small velocities with respect to Apophis center of mass. It looks like they won’t hit geostationary satellites on the way out; however, some of those rocks may come back to Earth in '29, '36 etc.
I favor bagging a conglomerate asteroid with Kevlar mesh and bleeding off rocks on one side to change the bulk velocity. If you run the rocks slowly out along a Kevlar strand, then the rotation will launch the rocks with significant momentum. And that changes the momentum of the asteroid.
It's also peanut-shaped. Could split in two. Hopefully, the ISS would be brought down by then.
Just something else I can add to my list of things I have ZERO control over.
😉👍
Read the Bible.
I think you make a very cogent point in the comparison with Oumuamua. If we call that an asteroid, and we can't explain its trajectory, why should we assume that we can deterministically assert the path of Apophis?
Precisely the point.
@@alecepting1371 Except that we've been observing Apophis' path for 20 plus years. This was Oumuamua's first trip by the Sun, ever. Nothing is being assumed. All predictions are based on a long baseline of previous observations for Apophis.
There is no equivalency between Apophis and Oumuamua.
Which month please 😮
Tom Horn (God Bless his soul)(his book "The wormwood prophesy") told us about Apophis for a reason, GOD always warns his children of impending danger. Great video of possible outcomes in 2029...... Worthwhile watch..

@Gfysimpletons You sound like an angry 17 year old. What have you made? How many ppl do you employ? Nothing, and no one. You're just some random loser, who thinks they're better than Elon Musk.
In order for an asteroid path altering probe to be effective it needs to take place LONG before the close encounter, preferably several orbits in advance. The course correction that current technology could pull off would be extremely small, so the more advanced timing would have the greatest effect.
What I just asked ChatGPT. Given what we know about landing on asteroids, reaction control systems and boosters capable of affecting the orbit of satellites; calculate the possible, plausible and or probable mathematics to land a spacecraft on Apophis capable of changing its orbit to have the asteroid 2004 MN4 impact Earth in 2029? ANSWER!!! While theoretically possible, the practical and ethical challenges of altering Apophis's orbit to ensure an Earth impact are immense. The mathematics suggest that significant Δv can be achieved with current technology, but the precision required and the potential risks make this scenario highly improbable and inadvisable. It remains a topic for theoretical exploration rather than practical application.
There is also the threat that it will miss in 29 but pass by close enough for Earth's gravitational pull to alter its trajectory enough that it swings back around and hits us in 2036. We aren't safe if it only misses once, but that is exactly how people will treat it.
Actually, the gravitational pull will be enough to swing the asteroid into an orbit that will eliminate all threats of impact for another 100 years at least.
If this space rock doesn't bring this planet's squabbling tribes together to face this potentially existential threat, I believe nothing will (in our lifetime). Kind of sad, actually!
A worldwide pandemic didn't unite people it just made more divisions, global warming is an ongoing existential threat but that also seems to be the root of more arguments than solutions. Then there's global instability due to religious and political views. We're just territorial bald monkeys with nukes and an inability to think long term. I'd say god help us but alas I'm an atheist. On the other hand these factors maybe the driving forces that pushes us to find a way to other worlds
Humans are sad for so many reasons. And they love to be afraid of things that aren't going to happen. Even if there were a chance this would hit us, it wouldn't bring people together. Humans are killing themselves as fast as they can, who cares if a rock does it for us?
Meh😂😂
My question is, "Is he bringing friends?" In other words, smaller ones that are caught in it wake perhaps...I hope not. This thing is just too damn close for my tastes. Good video!
I believe all large asteroids have "have friends"
Im worried now because I have been researching Apophis for 3 weeks now! I had come to conslusion that it will barely miss Earth BUT now I'm worried I could be wrong after this video dropping since it had been silent about this asteriod for a while not hearing much...now all the sudden a video uploads about it....idk maybe this is what all the bunkers around the world are preparing for?
It is. Stay safe. The 12,000 year cycle is up and we're due for a reset now. Good luck. I hope our ends are quick.
@@ciscornBIG I got a bunker...but at this point I think the elites know more than us to the point where im not actually prepared enough. Just like the Romans, the US will reset in terms of power
@@ciscornBIGMaybe. But try not to be such a downer. There’s finally a possibility of deflecting things like this. Hope for the best-PREPARE for the worst.
Yes. I've been waiting for the explanation of the bunkers. Also John Moore did many talks about how the ocean levels will rise and flood most of the east coast, Florida gone, Louisiana gone east coast of Texas flooded, etc.
The long term yearly stock market formation is (coincidentally) setting up for a massive crash at around Q1 of 2029 at a critical Fibonacci time level. It’s amazing how nature works.
Thanks for talking about this! I'm not doubting the scientists at all here, but I wish they were more open about the margin of error here. What if grazes the atmosphere to get just enough friction? What if it happens to smack into a geosynchronous satellite? What if we just miscalculated enough for a 40K km discrepancy?
I feel like most sources are a little too quick to say "nah, it won't hit" when nothing this scary has ever come this close before.
With how much panic there is on global warming and how much the media loves panic points for views I doubt that if there was a threat they wouldn't broadcast it everywhere.
Those guys (NASA) are experts that have been doing this stuff for decades, they know how to calculate rocket trajectories and how to safely dock crafts in the void. I trust they've probably crunched all the numbers they could think of.
Even if it was to hit us, what can we even do?
We should build the Breakthrough Starshot laser system then use it to help deflect asteroids and NEOs that are deemed to be a potential threat to the Earth. Over and above the project's goal of sending a probe to Proxima Centauri, the benefit that its laser could have in the role of asteroid defense could make the project well worth it.
@victorkrawchuk9141, I didn't know about "Breakthrough" at all. Just a little reading tells me that maybe you're right if it's "laser" can be used for that purpose. I'm honestly surprised that we don't already have some sort of "NEO space laser defense system." Earth based laser systems make more sense at least on the surface, no pun intended, given we already have some Military laser defense systems in testing/use. Idk what the requirements would be tho to build an Earth-based laser defense system which could target objects in space. It's just that the thought of orbital laser defense systems are a scary thought for obvious reasons that "someone or a group" could turn the laser towards Earth.... Then we have to consider what would the expense be of Earth or space-based laser defense systems be given the numbers of them we'd have to build so they could target all possible directions at any given time as opposed to waiting to achieve certain orbits or Earth rotation when it may be "a matter of minutes."
As for their "Starshot" - "sending nanocraft upwards of 100M mph".... "Nano" is supremely tiny so I'm not sure of their idea of "proof of concept" when photons in light are ultra tiny. If a photon is in the picometer (-15) range, nanometer (-12), it's still significant by -3 decimal places but it's not like the difference of a beach ball and the Earth. Even at Voyager 1 speeds it'd take over ~70,000 yrs to reach Proxima at ~4.2 LYs. Even if our spacecraft could achieve speeds 10x's that (the estimated speeds the Solar Parker Probe reached by the time it'd enter it's orbit around the Sun), it'd still be over ~7,000 yrs. There is a HUGE gap between these space probes and "Breakthrough's" "Nanocraft" idea, let alone a manned spacecraft, especially one with any real sort of "life support systems, cargo hold" etc. Then we have to deal with radiation since any human, the most important "cargo" but also any systems would not have the additional protection of Earth's magnetic field.
Water has been said to be a good insulator against radiation & clearly some water is needed for crew but how much water since 1gln of water weighs ~8.33 lbs and added weight to a launch means added fuel and expense for conventional space launch systems. Given these guys are talking about a "nanocraft" how will additional weight affect "laser travel systems?" So much to be addressed. I feel like more time/$$ is wasted in "space related systems" than is useful for practical application which at least NASA and other agencies have proven already just at enormous expense, the worst being human lives. Elon is working on his "Starship" & he's making some progress but I'd like to have seen him and SpaceX come up with the first real "artificial gravity system" so we could have a REAL "Starship" where people can conduct their "space work" as if on Earth rather than as if "under water."
@@zenithperigee7442 Breakthrough Starshot envisions sending a fleet of centimeter-sized nanocraft with 5-meter-diameter lightsails to Proxima Centauri. Each of the nanocraft would be accelerated to 15-20% the speed of light over a period of about 10-40 minutes using a large "multi-kilometer" 100GW laser array, and as such they would reach the target star in about 20-30 years. Being so small, these nanocraft would not be used to carry people. Even if they could, there would be nothing to slow down and stop the craft once they reached the target star, so it would basically be a suicide mission for any human.
The current plan calls for placing the laser on the Earth's surface, but to address the security concerns that you and many others have, I would instead propose that the laser be placed on the far side of the Moon. Nothing on the Earth could ever be targeted by the laser, and furthermore the laser would be more efficient or could be made smaller because it wouldn't have to punch through the Earth's atmosphere to reach the nanocraft. The downside is the expense of building the laser array on the Moon, and also the fact that the nanocraft would first have to be launched to a point beyond the Moon before the lasers could accelerate them.
At the proposed power of about 100GW the lasers would accelerate the nanocraft to the target speed at a rate of about 10,000G. While this is still a small force when dealing with Apophis-sized asteroids and NEOs, we could start focusing the laser on an asteroid almost as soon as a threat is identified. There would be no project delay, launch delay, or travel delay of a DART-style interceptor craft. By using the laser over a long period of time, the asteroid's path could be changed by vaporizing parts of the surface of the asteroid to generate thrust to steer it as we need. Because the lasers would be used for only a very short period of time for each nanocraft, there should be very little or no impact on the Breakthrough Starshot project if the laser array is redirected towards a threatening asteroid. By reclassifying the Breakthrough Starshot project as a planetary defense project, perhaps this could provide the additional funding that would be necessary to build the laser array on the Moon instead of the Earth.
Regarding the act of targeting photons on such small nanocraft, remember that light is both a particle and a wave. Otherwise, ff light was only made from particle photons, imagine the number of photons that would have to be generated by the most distant objects in the universe to allow them to be visible by something the size of a human eye on the Earth. Seeing the light by an eye, or feeling the laser on a nanocraft, is an act of observation that resolves the waves to particles as necessary.
Regarding Starships, there are various plans to create artificial gravity on Starships that will be traveling through deep space. They involve things such as adding extendable living/sleeping modules to a Starship that would be rotated, or by tying two Starships together nose-to-nose and spinning the two together to create gravity. A single Starship is actually big enough that you could simply rotate it on its axis to create 1/6 G on the inside of the outer surface without causing too much nausea on the passengers or crew.
Many people say we shouldn't go to space before we fix the problems on the Earth, but I think that we won't be able to fix these problems WITHOUT going to space. Over and above the protection from threatening asteroids that space exploration would buy us, the Direct-to-Cell function of Starlink that has just started being deployed would allow cellphones to use Starlink satellites as cell towers anywhere on the Earth. The recent earthquake in Japan has illustrated this, as cell service was completely knocked out in the affect area. SpaceX has shipped many Starlink dishes/routers to Japan to help restore Internet service to the affected people. Had Direct-to-Cell already been available, anyone with KDDI cellphone service in the affected area in Japan would not have experienced any disruption in service at all after the earthquake. Even non-KDDI customers might have been able to make SOS calls (911, or 110 in Japan) using Starlink. Furthermore, the scale of the problems on the Earth might be beyond the reach of the Earth's financial systems to resolve. This is why we need to create a Solar System based economy and financial system using resources such as platinum from asteroid 16 Psyche. With the $quintillions in metals that are mine-able in the asteroid belt, if they are handled properly we could start to address the Earth's problems by first eliminating things like the US National Debt. With no debt and a good credit record, a properly-focussed government in the US could make huge strides in eliminating hunger, poverty, and disease.
@@zenithperigee7442 I would place the laser system for Breakthrough Starshot on the far side of the Moon. This way there would be no chance of using it to target anything on the Earth. You have a point about there already potentially being laser technology that could be used for this project, but I think the scale and size of the laser system would be unprecedented.
By "nano" they mean "ships" that are just a few meters across regarding the size of their light sails . Still, the lasers would have to be powerful enough to accelerate these ships to about 20% of the speed of light in just a few hours. The acceleration would be extreme, far more than a human could tolerate, and it would even stretch the tolerance limits of computer, sensor, and communications equipment, which would in turn have to be made extremely small to fit inside a core module just a few centimeters wide.
The fact that these lasers would have to be so big and powerful, then just be used for a few hours at a time to accelerate a nanoship, probably means they would have a lot of downtime when they could be put to good use elsewhere. If they are used as part of a defense against asteroid hits on the Earth, the large budget that would be necessary for this project could perhaps be more easily justified to Congress, or perhaps even partly taken out of the defense budget.
Yes good idea they could divert the funds pouring into CERN over to the laser project instead
I’ve heard of this thing. I didn’t think it was going to be this close. Is this why a lot of rich people are building bunkers?
Daniels 70th week is about to start.
Wormwood, Revelation 8
Also the underground tunnels from Washington d.c. to Denver to west ward they have been tunneling for years....
And perhaps something like - landing a satellite on it, or flying a satellite by it could change it trajectory?
If you can get a nuclear powered mass accellerator on its surface you can use its own rock/ice as reaction mass and fly the ASTEROID wherever you want! Its near earth so its relative orbital energy is minimal, so small changes in acceleration early make a big difference.
OSIRIS-APEX won't reach Apophis until about 5 days before the NEO's closest approach to the Earth on April 13th 2029. There would be very little time for the probe to affect the path of the NEO.
@@victorkrawchuk9141 The probe is such a tiny fraction of the mass of the bodies that really do affect Apophis' path, the Sun, Earth, the Moon and Jupiter in that order, that OSIRIS-APEX will have as much an impact on Apophis as a fly hit by a car on the highway. The effect will be so small there will be no possible way to measure it.
@@RockinRobbins13 Actually, since there is virtually no chance that Apophis will hit the Earth in 2029, I'm wondering if the main concern is to make sure Apophis misses the 1km keyhole that would send it on a collision course with the Earth in 2036. If it looks like a hit might be likely, might a DART-like impact from OSIRIS-APEX be enough to change its path sufficiently, with only 5 days left? Apophis is bigger than Dimorphos, but not by very much. Due to the small size of the keyhole, the NEO's trajectory might not have to be changed by much.
I’m a metal worker. You make a wrong measurement of 1/16”, over a 40’ or so span the miss-measurement can grow to feet on the other end. Just saying I’m sure this apples to all things measured.

We are entering a peak in solar activity. It is not hard to imagine that an increase in solar wind and CMEs (coronal mass ejections) could have an effect on the orbit of Apophis this far out from its encounter with Earth and its moon.
So many variables and not much deviation to play with in NASA's calculations.
I would like to know the mins and maximum values NASA used in calculating solar wind/CME disturbances to Apothis' orbit. It's going to be close and you are right in saying, "not much deviation to play with."
Chances are, we don't have to worry about any outgassing from Apophis. Its orbit is too regular around the sun. Outgassing is more of a concern with deep-space objects that come in from areas like the Kuiper belt. It generally happens when objects with frozen pockets of gasses get close enough to the Sun to melt those gasses causing them to expand and erupt. Apophis is an inner solar system object with an orbit mostly inside of our own. If it had such pockets of gasses, they have long since burned up. Out of curiosity, where did you get your pronunciation of Apophis? I've never heard it with that hard O sound before and I love learning about quirky linguistics trivia. :)

What an exciting WAY TO GO! ... (note to Apophis ... aim for DC)
Coming too close not to pay attention to.
Well, all those billionaires building bunkers is starting to make a ton of sense now...
this is exactly what I am thinking.
@@mrdav1eThose billionaire bunkers provide just a false sense of security - they would be obliterated by any large impact like Apophis.
Also the big land for farming that they buy… suspiciously so
It doesn’t have to hit earth. It just has to knock anything in space and we could turn out to have more than just one rock falling on earth.
I think I’m not the only one that knows that if anything is gonna fall on earth that big , the government will not tell us.
as a proud scouser (from liverpool) i hope you and your lad enjoyed your visit to our wonderful city.
Scary as hell. Just like the movie "Don't look up"... Btw, hope you and your son both enjoyed your visit to my hometown of Liverpool?
Also, whatt if it takes out a bunch of geosynchronous satellites and causes a cascading debris field around the globe?
The satellites are separated by thousands of miles and they're relatively tiny.
If it hits one, it may be enough to destroy the entire asteroid, assuming it's a loose pile of gravel. It would send rocks in all directions, entering earth's atmosphere and taking out satellites. It would be a disaster.
@@austin-multicellular when DART impacted Dimorphos, which is much smaller than Apophis, it did not destroy it, though it did throw a bunch of debris out. And in such an impact during the close approach, most of the debris would retain the original velocity, and thus not impact earth.
@@brianorca you’re right-
It's unlikely to hit any satellites. In the scale of space it's tiny, the satellites are even smaller and that far away from earth they are spread out by thousands of miles. Apophis is about 3x the size of the ISS by area.
Question: is it just a matter of time before it hits us due to earth's gravity eventually capturing it? Not this pass but on future passes
Yes. Eventually, it will most probably hit us. An asteroid that size hits us every 79,000 years, so it will probably happen soon in geological time.
I'm in total agreement with this statement and it is a certainty that our planet's gravity will pull it in. Also I see in the orbit of Apophis that it crosses earth's orbit twice not once so it looks like there is a much greater chance of it hitting because of that.
The Chicxulub asteroid was over 10km in diameter, it's the one that we think killed the dinosaurs.
The impact in Siberia you are talking about was called the Tunguska event and the rock that cause it is believed to be 50-60 metres not 18.
Apophis is 335 meters so 6-7 times the size of the rock that caused the Tunguska event.
The one he mentioned that was 18 meters was the one from just a few years ago that exploded in the air and was captured on numerous dashcams and other things blowing out windows all over the place. The Tunguska event or whatever was a far different one.
@@effervescentrelief Seems you are correct. It's odd that he would use that example and say "wide spread devastation"
So not the bibical devastation all the chicken littles are all scairt of. Might blow up a city or two.
It is probably hundreds of times the mass (apophis vs Tugunska). While not a planet-killer it would be a bad day for some region.
Bullet whizzes by NASAs ear
NASA: " I'm in danger"
I have been watching this for a few years as its description dovetails quite nicely with the description in Revelation 8:-10 "When the second angel blew his trumpet, something like a huge mountain burning with fire was thrown into the sea. One-third of the sea turned into blood, one-third of the creatures that were living in the sea died, and one-third of the ships was destroyed." Of course it's just a coincidence nothing to see here!
I say we launch things from Uranus to destroy it.
Apophis is coming so close that any unexpected outgassing could cause it to hit . Anyway , even if NASA thought it was going to hit us they wouldn't admit it . They wouldn't want to create a panic . Personally speaking I think it's 50/50 whether it strikes the earth or not .
The US has been working on a solution for this for years and years, in fact people have seen it already but didn’t know what it was for. It’s an unmanned space shuttle that’s design to easily get it into space and land on a meteor to change its trajectory. People originally had theories that it was for taking weapons into outer space and shooting them from space but it’s not for that it’s for the meteor. The uav is called the x37b
Wormwood?
I did some back-of-the-envelope calculations, and that's a very narrow margin for it to whiz by at 20,000 miles. That means the difference between the close pass and impact is a difference of only 20 minutes! (ʘ_ʘ)
show your work, please. :>)
24.327 minutes
We’re fucked then cause we put the clocks back 1 hour in the UK… :/
The even scarier thing is in 2019 one passed even closer and we didn't see it until it was closer then the moon. It wasn't as big, it was 30-60 meters but still enough to cause a multiple megaton impact.
It was named "2019ok" if you haven't heard of it
@@kenanacampora I came to the same number. Since Apophis is traveling in nearly the same orbit as earth around the sun it's also at about the same speed. Take the distance from the sun times 2 to get the diameter of its orbit, that's 186 million miles. Divide by 365, then divide by 24. Now you have the speed it's traveling, 66,705mph. Dive the distrance expected to come by earth (20,000) by that 66K and you get almost .3 of an hour or very close to 20 minutes.
I have my doubts about the wildfire part of this projection. I think that any shockwave producing wind gusts upwards of 1,000mph would likely leave a vacuum in it's wake, suffocating most if not all fires. Just my 2 cents.
*The Chelyabinsk, Russia metero came INTO our atmosphere. There is a HUGE difference. It broke up 14 miles (22.5 Km) above the ground. I wonder why it caused devestation.*
*Apophis is 19.75 times the size of the Chelyabinsk meteor. However, Apophis will be passing Earth at 80,000 times the distance of the Chelyabinsk meteor. So, it won't impact us.*
Pacific Ocean (1/3rd of earths seas) simulation would be interesting. Also, if 13th April 2036 (2nd time around) would be a more likely impact date.
“And the second angel sounded, and as it were a great mountain burning with fire was cast into the sea: and the third part of the sea became blood;” Revelations 8:8
Maybe on your next update?
Always good to quote the Bible given that it has made 10,000 predictions and been wrong about every single one of them.
@randomgrinn like what?
Yeah like Hebrews 11 unnumbered stars as sand of sea. That a very bold statement when you can see just over 4k stars by the naked eye. But we now know that stars far out vast all the grains of sands of the whole earth. Oh what about Jeremiah 10 God stretched the heavens, well that was also proven right by the “red shift”. The Hubble has proven the universe is actually being stretched. But the biggest missed prophecy in Ezekiel 34:13 about Israel becoming a nation again. Oh wait that did come true in May 14th 1948. Wow, a people lost there nation and after 2k years later they have their nation back! Not only is that astonishing that it happened… it happened on the exact day it was prophesied to happen. Sure 10,000 bogus prophecies… find me 10 or even 1?
The worrying part is that this is just one of many object out there, it was only discovered in 2004 when it came reasonably "close", and we don't really have anything that can be used to prevent an impact with Earth. The objects that we do track and know about might only be a fraction (we really don't know how many, where, how big, or the composition of most of them).
We need something that can be used at short notice to deflect or destroy potential hazardous objects.
No it was discovered in the 1970,s my science teacher talked about it and our parents were upset that it scared us kids
Project dart
Stationing an asteroid deflector at the gateway is brilliant. It can be maintained there and is outside most of earths gravity well. Having some sort of standby deflector is absolutely necessary for long term survival. It should be pretty large because we won't know the size of the asteroid it needs to deflect when it is built. This makes it expensive. But if we all die because we didn't pay for this, was it really a good deal?
It will cause regionall damage, and is not even close to the size of the astroid that killed the dinos
And if it's just chilling at the gateway how does it get up to a high speed to impact an asteroid? Dart hit Didymos going 14,760mph.
Are you talking the Lunar Gateway station? What Robert Zubrin calls the Lunar Tollbooth?
I would be happy to see any practical reason for its existence besides collecting import tariffs for commerce to the Moon. It's role for human landing systems is utterly absurd and completely pointless, but I digress.
In this case, I suppose a missile system might be used to deflect an asteroid. But other orbital positions would be better like the Earth-Sun Lagrangian points
it also is useless. partly due to unknown size, but also because it can take years to get into proper position.
Well it was nice knowing ya all
Thank you, Angry. After the movie Armageddon it was made clear that we were tracking only a tiny piece of the sky for asteroids. It didn't take very long after the movie release to up the tracking budget. Another movie might be the quickest way to get the attention of people who can get this risk taken care of.
Don't look up...
Instead of sinking the ISS into some ocean we could use it as a projectile to defend Earth against some malicious asteroid. Needs just some thrust device which has to be added to the ISS when it goes out of service.
Bro Nasa should hire you . That's brilliant
The ISS weighs essentially nothing compared to an asteroid of that size. Using it to divert something that big means a) adding a huge amount of dV to move it way out of earth's orbit. and b) impacting the asteroid far enough away from Earth that the tiny change in the asteroid's path is enough to cause it to miss Earth. But b) also means trusting our modeling of that trajectory change, which is exactly what Angry is saying we're not capable of. We'd possibly be _creating_ the impact event by altering its trajectory.
@@oasntet Also because of it's shape, significant portion of it's energy would be wasted in deformation of it's structure during impact.
I hope SpaceX will figure out Starship and orbital refueling soon. 200+ tons accelerated to speeds capable of reaching moon or mars and beyond is bound to push Apophis a little.
Also another thought, with the obesity problems we have in the west, and the iss lacking sufficient mass to essentially matter..
Just send a few hundred chubbies to perform the ultimate sacrifice..
I mean what good human wouldn’t give their existence in order to protect their offspring/loved ones..
Funny, this is the first time I've heard Apophis downgraded to just a State Killer and not a World Ender. So........things are....looking better??
They either miscalculated the size or it has lost a lot of mass somehow
PHEW!!!!
@@theminisimmerWe don't worry much about Apophis there is a global nuclear conflict we have to win first.
One world ender at a time.
😅😅😅😅😅
DC would be my preferred destination .
A DART or anything else is not going to stop the will of God.
Since most of space is not Earth, any random change to its vector would be far more likely, to make apophis far less likely to hit Earth. In other words, bring on the random change. Space along this trajectory is 99+ percent empty. Only one key hole leads to Earth. All other paths lead Apophis further away. I do agree a standby capability to adjust the orbit of smaller asteroids would be nice to have. But until (unless) starship makes it affordable to create such a program, I'd rather see that money go to additional US nuclear submarines. There are much bigger threats to life on Earth, living on Earth.
Much bigger threats to earth than a cataclysmic asteroid?
Yep, and some of them seem to think working people owe them something.
Common sense! It works just about every time it's tried. Part of our paranoia here is not realizing that these asteroids have been in orbit around the Sun for billions of years without impacting Earth. Why would they not have settled into a harmonic orbit like every other solar system object, such that collisions with Earth won't happen? Yes, every hundred thousand years or so Earth does get hit, but it's survived being defenseless for 4 billion years. What's changed? We have. Our fears have. The fears are not justified.
I'd rather see that money go into universal healthcare than more nuclear subs tbh...
@@pyerack Without national defense there is no healthcare at all, nor is there an economy.

Lets name the next astroid “happy pretty fluffy bunny”….
NASA : HADES!
And you know that they would never tell us if they knew it was going too hit😮😢
I always thought it was interesting that the copper slug used on the Deep Impact research mission some good time back was pretty much the same dimensions and mass as a nuclear warhead already in the U.S. arsenal. (In theory it wouldn't be much of a stretch to swap one out for the other.) That mission succeeded in terms of direct targeting and the data collected. Thus it could count as being a trial run of sorts. So maybe there is some kind of contingency plan for things like this behind the scenes that the public isn't all that aware of? How much of a shove that could give an asteroid isn't quite known, but it may be enough to do the trick.

What i believe we need to start is orbit based mining of asteroids and the moon.there are various valuable and vital resources outside of earth that can be used to further exporation and colonization of space and other planets.
A plus side to this is waste products that can be turned into kinetic projectiles to divert potentially dangerous objects.
Didn't the movie Don't Look Up have the capitalists wanting to mine the asteroid and not working and eventually it collided, think we should just destroy it and not give it any second chances

If only cosmology would conceed the fact that the EM force is present on an intergalactic scale.... Seems absurd to reason that gravity alone condensed clouds of diffuse particulate matter into a central region with such density to trigger stellar formation. The pressure difference of the cloud relative to the surrounding void alone would be enough to overcome G.
We would use the DART method to deflect it off course if need be. Nothing to worry about here at all.

QUESTION: what are the chances of Apophis breaking up because it is a rubble type asteroid? There is no information on this possibility online!
Information about Apophis is very tightly controlled. If you google it, and limit the search to 24 hours, you will note very similar wording in all the "articles" that appear, and they appear every day. I noticed this strange similarity in wording twice before in political news, but tell the FBI i cannot remember which.
Some things you simply cannot Google, like the rubble, the 100% accuracy coefficient of Apophis calculations versus 99% Bennu calculations, and the Yarkovsky effect.
If I type Apophis...Asteroid...Audiobook with the A-word added, this post will disappear again but you CAN Google it at this stage. But for how long?
I looked up the closest point will be over the Atlantic Ocean and if it explodes and turns into Ejecta, the fall out will sprinkle over the American area. Scary!
I think we should have something out there ready to deflect it if required.
Knocking us back to a stone age existence. I strongly suspect this has happened
to us many times. Consider the megalithic and polygonal structures around the world.
That we still can't move (1 to 1000 tons) or make. What our academia doesn't understand,
they ignore.
Yes, the previous occupants of Earth left us warnings in stone ...everywhere, but we just dont want to hear it. After all, there's till so much shopping left to do.
We have a system to deflect an asteroid now. So are more advanced than our ancestors in space at least hopefully we won’t get hit.
Aren't they able to figure out where it would land? And wouldn't it be wise to slowly start clearing this area? April seems to be a short window already.
It's not coming close until 2029
They won't know the impact location until a few days before it hits - if it hits
If Apophis hits its Keyhole just right we are all screwed. If it hits any Nation it's gone.
Nah unless it's a small country
According to Thomas Horn Apophis is around 2-3 miles wide!
Such a close pass will definitely change its orbit, right?
Yes, of course. There is a "keyhole" close to the path of Apophis such that if it passes through it, the NEO will be placed on a certain collision course with the Earth in 2036. However, this keyhole has been determined to be only 1km wide, and the likelihood that Apophis will pass through it is very small.
Ya, thats what their telling you/the public.@@victorkrawchuk9141
Jesus Christ is coming back soon.
Who?
@user-ow6uo3ms4i Jesus Christ, the only begotten Son of God , that lived a sinless life ,die on a wooden cross, and after 3 days, God rose Jesus from the dead, and is alive at the right hand of God.. Jesus died for the sins of the world ,the sinless for the sinner. Jesus came the first time meek like a lamb, but coming back as King of Kings and Lord of Lord . "For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son,that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. "He who believes in Him is not condemned;but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.. So the good news is ,God sent His Son to die in our place and take our punishment for our sins, the righteous for the unrighteous. Our response is to believe and repent and be water baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins, and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit . This scripture is found in the Bible in Acts 2:38 and call on the name of the Lord Roman's 10:9-10. Take care, I hope you well . If you have a hard time with this , just pray and ask Jesus Christ if He is real ..
Lol people been saying that for 2024 years. Wouldn’t hold your breath

@rick7013 number one, it's been less than 2000 years since Jesus Christ burial ,resurrection, and by you saying that it's another sign of His sion return.
Interesting post. There are related factors. We tend to focus on the impact blast as if a very large H-bomb.
The reality would include tectonic shifts and fractures to crustal plate, ergo volcanic eruptions and earthquakes.
Let's not forget the atmospheric ejecta darkening much or all of Earth, triggering an unnatural cold wave, crop failures, and massive deaths of both ocean going and land dwelling animals.
An atmospheric explosion of unparalleled force is seperate from the downward impact into the Earth possibly cracking the crust, but also transmitting a downward shock wave into the liquid center. Also triggering new earthquakes across the world, hence more tsunamis.
If Apophis touches down it's game over for civilization as we know it.
Wormwood!😮
My concern is it striking a geostationary satellite and causing Kessler Syndrome
Some of you are grossly underestimating the scale here. Geosynchronous orbit is about 35,000 miles up and the largest satellites are the size of SUV's. They are separated by thousands of miles. There is no chance of a collision.
I thought that a LEO phenomenon.
This is where my tinfoil hat comes on and I pray to the universe that if UFO’s/UAP’s really are what we have been being told recently, that some non human intelligence would be able to change its path.
Maybe it's an experiment if the humans can do it themselves.
Or......they may just sit back and watch the show like intergalactic teenagers?
Or slightly change its path to direct it right at us like kids with a magnifying glass and an ant hill...😂
The original name given this was Wormwood and that is the real name but that is unthinkable
well why not? we're already in a "dark" timeline, even though we successfully got past WWII.
But what if it hit an ocean? The tidal waves would be miles high
Not sure about miles, but it could be 1,000 feet + a few hundred feet. And, it would also depend on where in the ocean it would hit.
There was Seer, I think he was in Costa Rica some years ago, who seen this asteroid hit the ocean somewhere in the Caribbean. Maybe someone can verify?
Wormwood of revelation

Liverpool, my home town ... enjoy your visit !
I wonder if Earth may pull it into orbit eventually coming down or hitting the moon which would be bad.
It will pass much too close to earth to have any chance of hitting the moon.
How much more difficult will it be to spot and track these asteroids as low earth orbit is cluttered up with Starlink satellites?
The Earth has always been the worst place to position telescopes to search for NEOs, because their orbits are such that you can really only work for a short time after sunset and a short time before sunrise every day. Starlink satellites won't significantly change this. Nevertheless, the NEO Surveyor telescope is scheduled to launch to the Earth's L1 point in June 2028, and its primary focus will be to complete the search for NEOs that might be a threat to the Earth.
Great video thank you, I subscribed! Would you please do a video regarding how far away the explosion cloud could be seen? Use central US maybe Kansas as an impact point.
Hey AA--What did Georgia do to you to make you wish asteroids fall on it?
Fortunately for me, only yesterday I was able to unburden myself of a major concern which hung like a stone around my neck for some years. How fortuitous that I have freed up the emotional bandwidth required to dread the days left before being smote by fire and brimstone. Or the megatsunami which will scour to bedrock beaches around the earth, inland for tens and hundreds of miles. Then there is the year long torrential downpours that will occur following the flash boiling of millions of cubic meters of seawater. Hoping they can suck all the shit out of my storm drains at least once more before 2029. Since I'm only about 40 feet above sea level, maybe I'll start packing now to head for the hills once projections are a little less fuzzy. Never could have imagined that my fate may be a biblical smiting.
Im at 210 feet on the west coast so might need to plan a vacation in Alberta around that time /-:
What would be crazy is a near near miss, like a grazing of the very upper layers of the atmosphere. That would change things sociopolitically and in other ways very much IMHO. I wonder if we’ll be able to see it with binoculars even on its present course.
I kinda like that idea
You can bet your bottom dollar, plenty of Earth Telescopes will be pointed at it. And as there are more Classified Telescopes pointed at Earth the size of Hubble, than looking at the stars there won't be any shortage of observations of this historic transit so close to Earths orbit. Plenty of Classified space Telescopes will be re-tasked to observe it I suspect...
You will probably be able to see it with the naked eye.
I read just recently it would be easily visible to the naked eye if it keeps its predicted course by like 2029 or something along those lines- but it was a nasa website
Ya had me at the perfect dark font in the intro.
Work well done… Apaophis will certainly soften us up for an ETerrestrial arrival leaning towards dependence. However, could you also speak about what effects a miss and gravitational effects on earth would have from such a close pass (with possible smaller accompanying asteroids?
We have near misses often. The mass is not similar to the mass of the moon and therefore will not have similar tidal effects. The main issue is Just getting hit directly
What are the odds it hits our moon or gets disrupted because of it? Has that fit in anyone’s calculations?
Or it knocks the moon out of our orbit.
