Quote:Infamous asteroid Apophis is accelerating




Quote:This 2021 flyby will be Apophis’ closest approach until the great encounter in 2029.

It will be visible to the naked eye in 2029

Quote:Friday, April 13, 2029, will be more of a showtime for the general public and astronomers alike. Apophis will come so close that it’ll be visible to the unaided eye alone; something that almost never happens with asteroids!

Again, WHY is this in the Religion section?

Are you doubting your god Apophis?

Sho-vah! (However the hell it's spelled).

Well, the great cat Mau killed Apophis, so maybe we could send up a cat to deflect this thing.

It’s cute how you use the word ‘volunteer’.

Moved this thread from Religion, as the OP couldn’t give a satisfactory reason for it being there in the first place.

Oh do fuck off, you whiny little dickhead, Winter.

It's a privilege that anyone is able to post and view & use this website. me, you ... everyone using it. Don't forget that.

This thread is now in a much more suited and relevant section of the forum, in Physical Sciences.
[/off-rail-reply]

The naming convention of asteroids are kinda silly, IMO.

If I could & suggest, the next NEOs name that has an collision trajectory with Earth should be Jehovah.
