Celebrity astrophysicist Neil DeGrasse Tyson discusses Apophis, a large asteroid forecast to pass dangerously close to the Earth in the year 2029.
-----
Neil DeGrasse Tyson discusses "Death by Black Hole: And Other Cosmic Quandries."
Whether discussing the universe's origins as host of NOVA's "scienceNOW" or asserting that Pluto is a not a planet on "The Colbert Report," astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson translates the universe's complexities for a broad audience.
Known as the great explainer of all things cosmic, Tyson first became known in the astronomy community by lecturing on the subject at the age of fifteen. He is currently the director of New York's Hayden Planetarium at the American Museum of Natural History, where he also teaches. Tyson has written seven popular books including the bestselling Death by Black Hole and the memoir The Sky Is Not The Limit.
His professional research explores star formation, dwarf galaxies, exploding stars, and the structure of the Milky Way, topics which he writes about in his long running "Universe" column in Natural History magazine. Tyson's varied honors include the NASA Distinguished Public Service Medal and People Magazine's 2000 "Sexiest Astrophysicist Alive" - City Arts & Lectures
Ryan Wyatt is a science visualizer for the American Museum of Natural History in New York City. A longtime planetarian, he is actively involved in promoting fulldome video technology within the planetarium community. He manages the Fulldome Mailing List and also maintain web pages related to standards development for fulldome video. His work at the Museum relates strongly to the Hayden Planetarium's Digital Universe dataset, with an emphasis on creating content for the planetarium "space shows," including Cosmic Collisions and The Search for Life.

Hey Siri, set a reminder on April 12, 2036 to begin getting stoned as humanly possible.
2029 sweetheart. 2036 is a best case scenario...
Scar face
Literally...
Mitch Farkas ill bring the papers, bong, and blunt wraps.
Finally something to look forward after COVID 19
Yup!!
😂😂😂
After? We could only wish my friend
right i just saw this like wtf
Its has changed its trajectory so don't worry it won't hit us
and here i am
born at 13th of april
seems like i gonna celebrate my birthday in 2036
with a blast
+Mohannad King Rest assured that this clip is old, and the currently estimated probability of an impact is tiiiiiny.
the time u replied to my comment is awesome ...
if u know what i mean
and man id be so happy if my birthday in 2036 wouldnt make the world end 😅😂
Hah, didn't even notice!
+Mohannad King Hahaha
+Oskar Södergren But there is still a chance.
We have to send Bruce Willis.
Rico Cobana he actually likes Deep impact better lol
😂😂😂
We need to nuke it!!!!!
That was my line a month ago
I am watching this in 2020, we still have 9 years for this.
How's lockdown affecting you?
This Apohis is Wormwood, from the book of Revelations. That means that this will be one of the later events of the 7 year Tribulation.
Please ask Jesus to come into your heart.
@@miholju lmaoooooo

Tom horn has predicted this its gunna hit
I think we should spend the next 10 years of our collective existence bickering about gender and getting people fired over social media. That would be time well spent
hear hear
What about typing mean, sarcastic comments on youtube? That would do the job too.
As much as the right hates the left, they need to realize that despite how idiotic it all seems, it's no more idiotic than insisting we ban gay marriage, stem cell research, teach creationism in school, etc etc which is what the right wing wants. The right wing is just getting a left wing version of their own medicine. And they're so angry over it! Now you know how sane liberals have felt for decades by the religious/political proclivities of the right.
Max Powers you’re a moron who doesn’t get the concept of gender. Scientists aren’t on your side.
@Max Powers It must be sad to think our species are as sadistic as you see us as.
"Death by giant meteor", now THATS what i want written in my obituary. I mean come on, that just sounds BADASS.
Neil DeGrasse Tyson is a funny bloke, love watching clips with him
I love how the end was basically, "Oh did I say 13 years? Sorry, my mistake. I meant 7 years."
Fuuuuuuuuuuuu
It's amazing how comical yet still informative and scientific Mr. DeGrasse Tyson can be even while speaking of the total and utter destruction of our planet and its people. Thank god for such a informative and comical man.
I hope I'm still around to see this event . Should be one hell of a show !
I wish every science teacher was like him!
Love this man...He makes science and learning fun and interesting.
I just wish he hadn't been "bought" by the powers that be.
scientists are smart
they know about millions and billions years ago what happened on earth but not 2000 years ago
they say earth is 4.5 billion years old
and ready to be demolished by an asteroid, what are the odds ??? we have 9 or even 13 years to live
specially it will hit USA, California Malibu out of all this beautiful areas on this big earth
come on ...
7 years from now this will happen. Wow. Amazing how this information is still useful 11 years later.
Math works.
I love this guy. He makes science and astronomy interesting and fun
It's amazing how this man could tell about the apocylapse in a funny way 😂😂
Maybe we could use this encounter to capture it, having our own pet asteroid to study and mine in LEO would be great.
wars would start over who gets to mine it lol
Fr0st1989 The person who captures it gets to mine it I'd say. At this point the only viable choices for that would be the yanks and the ruskies.
Nic Cage the Dick Mage What about the indians or the chinese?
The resources should be shared among all the human beings
Adamo Leoni it should, but it won't be; history has taught us time and again that we humans value greed and violence over altruism and peace :D
Adamo Leoni Fr0st1989 What hell are you guys smoking. This is the goddamn point of capitalism, whoever can front up with the cost of doing something gets to sell them. The resources are shared between human beings that pay for it.
Thats a hell of a math problem
ikr
🤣
The link to the full video is broken, how can we watch the full video?
Never apologize to us mere mortals dr. Like it or not you are a national treasure and we love you dearly!
You made it cool to enjoy science. Maybe lead with that on your next resume.
This actually made me feel safer.
Oh boy you got to love how Neil DeGrasse Tyson puts comedy into something terrifying!
A chilling description, Neil, thanks very much.
I can listen to this guy for days.
okay we need to move to Mars before 2029 come on bros :O! Elon, I sign up
I live in NJ, would the wave reach anywhere in NJ? I'm not scared or anything, just interested
Laxiken01 Naw it'll hit the pacific. But that's cool cause California is experiencing a drought and could use some water :)
Will Edwards Damnitt Will hahahaha
Laxiken01 No way José...
Laxiken01 no not even close
It will hit America because fuck America
watching this in 2021 gives this different vibes
That could explain the west coast mega tsunami I saw in a waking vision during prayer in a park on 8/27/2012. It flipped my paradigm forever.
H... Holy wow. Neil DeGrasse Tyson, this was terrifying. Good job sir.
Tyson at his best right here :)
He talks like he's giving a speech to a class of 3rd graders at some elementary school. We need another spokesman. He may be highly intelligent. He just needs to work on his lectures.
Quasi fraud say's what? Yeah he only appeals to 3rd graders. They don't know a lying bullshitter when they see one.
Not what he says, its the delivery.
Smokin Degrassi Tyson is a pseudoscience pretender clown Muppet.
recently i notice Dr.Neil Degrasse Tyson mention in this video at 3 minutes and 54 seconds that the asteroid would created a 50 feet high wall later around minute 4 in this video he refers to this wall as being 3 miles high. i cant understand this'? is it because he misspoke this as well or he is referring to something else ?
wich 'lecture' is this from? :)
I luv this guy
Well... happy birthday to me on my 31st birthday i guess. 2029/04/13
Don't fret, you're extremely lucky. On that day there will be a massive effort on the like which we have never seen before, and that will be to gather valuable data from such an opportune encounter.
And even if it does collide with Earth, we'll have counter-measures waiting to minimize casualties/damage.
On your birthday raise a toast to science :)
Wymid did u not hear him? He said 13 years after 2029
Some slight corrections. If it goes through the CENTER of the keyhole it will hit in a specific spot. If it goes through elsewhere WITHIN the keyhole, it could move where it hits. If it does not go through the keyhole then it will NOT hit. In more recent news as we have tracked it with increasing precision we now know that it is very UNLIKELY that it will pass through the keyhole, and thus its threat level has been lowered.
Thank Bezula!
My science teacher was very funny and made my science class so interesting. I miss you Mr. Larry Williams! I love Dr. Tyson.
2029 Can't wait!
2036 can't wait...
2019 feb 1 can't wait!
3:22 HE said Las Vegas or something, I'm out🥴
I cant beleieve ive missed this guy for 10 + years. This video was 15 years ago lol
What about using an O’Neill cylinder to essentially tug/slow it down, then guide it inward to the mouth, land it, and then mine it?
Preliminary observations by Goldstone radar in January 2013 effectively ruled out the possibility of an Earth impact by Apophis in 2036.[10] By May 6, 2013 (April 15, 2013 observation arc), the probability of an impact on April 13, 2036 had been eliminated.[3]
too bad
Turns out not true its unclear haha 💯 still a threat
So in the next ten years we need to develop technology to nudge that giant rock just outside the keyhole. Fortunately we have peeps working on that now.
Or just blow it up
Chev427BB
Blowing it up might work well for certain porous or loosely bound asteroids and comets if we can get the nuke deep under the surface. But some asteroids are basically huge single rocks or even balls of metal, so blowing them up is essentially impossible without drilling down a mile into it (taking months under the best circumstances) and setting off several multi-megaton bomb, and even that may not work.
Blowing it up would just take one giant astroid, and turn it into multiple astroids…. not a good idea. I would rather have one big rock, then multiple rocks hitting different locations..
*****
If you turn a one-cubic-mile asteroid into two half-cubic-mile asteroids you haven't done much good. But if you turn that one-cubic-mile asteroid into a quarter-cubic-mile asteroid and a bunch of house-sized and smaller pieces, you've dramatically reduced the amount of damage it can do as the smaller pieces will mostly burn up or blow up before they reach the surface. By comparison the one that blew up over Russia in 2013 was estimated at 20 meters across.
I suppose that could work, but who's to say how it will blow up. What if it break into 4 quater peaces, or 2 halfs? I just think there's better methods thats all.
Any updates on this shit? It's been almost 11 years now did we get some better understanding if it's going through that keyhole or not?
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/99942_Apophis
As of 2014, the diameter of Apophis is estimated to be approximately 370 metres (1,210 ft).[3] Preliminary observations by Goldstone radar in January 2013 effectively ruled out the possibility of an Earth impact by Apophis in 2036.[11] By May 6, 2013 (April 15, 2013 observation arc), the probability of an impact on April 13, 2036 had been eliminated.[3] Using observations through February 26, 2014, the odds of an impact on April 12, 2068, as calculated by the JPL Sentry risk table are 1 in 150,000.[3] As of March 2018, there were seven asteroids with a more notable cumulative Palermo Technical Impact Hazard Scale than Apophis.[12] On average, one asteroid the size of Apophis (370 metres) can be expected to impact Earth about every 80,000 years.[13]
@KamuiSeph i didn't learn this yet so how should i know how to spell it o_O
Nothing fun ever happens here...
This a great talk, but old. 2013's observations and calculations basically ruled out the impact in 2036 and set the odds of impact on 2068/04/12 to 1 in 256,000.
1 in 256.000. Now, let's let that number stay in our heads for a while. It's hard to visualize odds.
There is a 1 in 700.000 chance that YOU will be struck by lightning if you live in the us.
There is differences, but let's say 1:10.000.000 for a jackpot in a lottery
People spend 20$ on a lottery ticket(?)
In 2012, NASA got 33$ per year from a household earning 49500$ (2011 money).
Well, this is bleak. But relax, it's not like people ever get struck by lightning or win the lottery ey? Good thing we got to slashing those budgets again....

@Sconz32
Did you listen to the dates?
What a fascinating man to listen too!! Great public speaker! Entertaining and very informative!
hes a good speaker. that made me laugh. but in 20 years from now i would imagine we would be able to shoot it out of space long before it hit earth tho.
Buddy we aint even close
@@anthonyswallow8076 No need, trajectory has been calculated correctly and an impact is ruled out for 2036 and a very slim chance in 2069 or whatever
@@uncomfortableshirt3870 for real where did you read that?
@@illrhymes25 earthsky.org/space/asteroid-99942-apophis-encounters-2029-2036-2068
It's been over 11 years now and nothing yet..
Fuck.....
If we tried to alter the course of the asteroid just as an excersise, could we somehow run the risk of altering the course so that it inadvertently threads the keyhole
@Bauks The idea is that the "keyhole" is the zone in which if it passes we will be struck, if it misses the keyhole it'll whizz past us. If it had a tight orbit than it'll loop around for a potential second pass, if it was a strong and wild orbit it may get thrown out into space. In any case we likely wouldn't see it again for centuries if not ever again.
will I die!!!??????!!!!!????????!!!!!!!????!!!!!!
Depends on how good a condition of your water wings are
Yes, we all are. But not from this, don't worry. XD
If you are in the area of the impact, but that is almost impossible
if it hits in 2036, probably about a 1:1,000 chance; that you will die, from its effects; you might die sooner. but "will i die???" yes you will 100% chance at some point
the world need a wake up call... it should hit!!

Brain, this was shot in 2008. That was found in 2013.
Be Free they can only tell when it comes on the 2029 date. Didn't u pay attention? They are just lying to people so u won't be scared
We need more peeps on this.
one of the best comments I have read...kudos
Boy would I love to see this!
@Doum92 he debunks this ..do you want a link of it?
@moshpotpaul There is another video that's about an hour long from sci cafe where he talks about how it is currently projected to miss the keyhole.
Correct me if I'm wrong, could we not just try to blow up the meteorite when it passes? Or will that cause another problem?
LOVE Neil deGrasse Tyson. Brilliant man!!!
and the crowd stood up and applauded
the earth has an escape velocity of 10,000km/s. that means that an object falling into the gravitational well of the earth will impact with a speed of at least 10,000km/s.
that is assuming it isnt actually falling into the gravitational well of the sun, which it is. that means it will be going at 30,000km/s when the earth gets in the way.
that is a LOT of energy to be converted. a LOT. this is why scientists have so much respect for objects travelling at cometary velocities.
Ooh I'm looking forward to seeing if this happens or not, that's for sure.
Could you send me a message with this link? I looked on the website and couldn't find anything about it's possibility of hitting earth in 2068.
He is such a great spokesman for science. He has enough knowledge of pop culture to appeal to the layman. He is very entertaining. If you have streaming Netflix check out The Pluto Files: Nova. It is very informative and funny.
when he speaks...its like....beautiful and poetic...
It can’t get here fast enough.
It’s an Honest and Fair death compared to… Everything humans could do.. We are a privileged Generation i think… But yeah i have 3 kids now 7-5-3 and wow i didn’t want to show them life and the Workd in GODDAMN APOCALYPSE… :( Well. 🤷🏻♂️
Yeah, but we're hooked!! It's the way he tells it and the little bits he adds along the way! We just wanna hear him keep speaking and feeding us more information. We love it all! There would be a revolution if he only appeared for a few seconds and quickly summarized whatever he wanted to say! You hear me! R-E-V-O-L-U-T-I-O-N!!
Is there a nasa waiting asteroid evacuation list where i can signup goto mars?
That guy's got nerves of steel. Wish I could be that relaxed in front of a crowd.
@luckyguy11111 Depends. Merely sending a small warhead wouldn't pulverize the mass... there are no explosions in space... it would simply cause fission to occur and lots of energy and radioactivity to result. Near pulverization is an astronomically unlikely result in this scenario.
However if we sent a large broad object with near equal mass at it, which we wouldn't considering the inefficiency of launching such an object, then near pulverization would be a likely result.
Hi Mr. Tyson, would u please talk about Apophis on your new show star talk?? Thank you!!!
Thank god I live in the East Coast this is going to be exciting to see
Read that Apophis will break into 2 large pieces. One hitting the Pacific Ocean while the other impacting land near California. The whole world will be affected by the Mother of all earthquakes set off.
@Whoknowsuknow In theory yes, but also in theory that could just make it so that instead of one big meteor, we instead are pelted by several smaller meteors that could easily cause more damage.
@Yuri92001 he's on a show called NOVA science now. and he's AWESOME!
You KNOW there's gonna be that one surfer who's like, "dude, I got this"....
Cant wait. I hope its bigger than they think. So excited
You are so excited to perish in the aftermath of global earthquake and acid rain....weird.
Mr. Ty; I know this fellow that some people say he's an extraterrestial while others call him the atomic Cuban, and that's because he is able to explain things related to the universe in ways that make a lot of sence. His name is Jose Suarez. He has a fairly high I.K and at age 67 is sort of shy. He told me that a gravitational force field is made up of the harmonics of interrelated families of frequencies, and that it's made up of two sub fields. One excursive and the other incursive.
I live near Santa Monica. Whelp, looks like I've got a vacation to plan.
"where you goin'? "
"anywhere that's not here."
But wow what a splash that would make, and it would be amazing to see even if (hopefully, no, super-dooper hopefully) it misses) the most brilliant shooting star!
True. I was just looking at the title of the video...
@GadgetsMagazineWeb that would be because unlike lacking the physical evidence of knowing when a low pressure system will form astronomers can track the trajectory of a rock in space
I love Neil DeGrasse Tyson!
Im not sure if this is all he said or if there was more, but I know that NASA already has a plan for how to deal with Apophis when the time comes. See, Apophis isnt very big as far as comets go, so it would be really simple to just land a retrorocket on it's surface, and decelerate it enough to put it off trajectory. It wouldnt really matter where you land the rocket, you can push it in any direction and prevent collision, it would just matter that you did it in time
I wish for this to happen with a live tv coverage. WHOOPWHOOOP!
Make it so!
@Warpzx considering this is the fate of everyone, that fraction seems a little too shallow for me
He says that the excursive component of of the gravitational force field is responsible for repelling other worlds and establishing what he calls their orbital corridors, impeding them from invading other worlds orbits and collisions; while the incursive component is gravity which serves to coalesce and unite matter compessing it towards a concentric point from whence it originates.A gravitational force field is an inherent component of extreme heat, but both fields accrue the same force.
I'm not the biggest science person but Neil DeGrasse I would watch you anytime :))
I have something to live for. That will rock if it hits the keyhole. Might be one helluva a show to see and experience.
@jables4ever so there isn't any chance that it could hit land?
I also love how he basically goes, "Oh shit, yeah y'know how I said you'd only have 12 years to live if it threads the keyhole? It's actually only 7 years..." *end of video*
@siliexar If you watch it again, he says the impact would create a hole in the ocean 3 miles wide and 3 miles deep, while at the same time sending a tsunami wave that's 50 feet high into the shore. Then the remaining water would collapse into the hole (3 miles deep) to create another wave.
@michelefezzi1
Probably not. 1/250 000 or so was the latest estimate if I remember correctly.
Those are going to be some amazing photos.
No one will see ur photos ,you n ur camera will be swept into the roaring sea
Great on my birthday too
This is the only person who can make the end of the world sound enjoyable.
Definitely. 🙌😅
@NUMUESTIKK no we would not send a ship up to blow it up that would just make a bigger problem , but i have then the idea that with a powerful lazer at the right angle you can evaporate said meteor creating a small "jet" from the vaporization moving it slightly but just enough to move it out of the way . plus i watch anime movies not Hollywood.
This would be great if there wasn't a friggin commercial embedded in it.
friction caused by earths gravity, when something is hot enough and rapidly cools, it explodes.
Similar to putting room temperature water on ice. Ice cracks because of the temperature change being too great for the ice to melt.
Meteor explosions happen this way, except the temperature of the ice (being the meteor) is HOT and the water is cold.
i like how he talks about a meteoric apocalypse and makes you laugh at the same time.
