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?

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’.

You might know in the future.
Remember this verse from the Quran:
Quote:Sura 18, The Quran:
https://quran.ksu.edu.sa/index.php?l=en#...rans=en_sh
56 ) And We send not the messengers except as bringers of good tidings and warners. And those who disbelieve dispute by [using] falsehood to [attempt to] invalidate thereby the truth and have taken My verses, and that of which they are warned, in ridicule.
( 57 ) And who is more unjust than one who is reminded of the verses of his Lord but turns away from them and forgets what his hands have put forth? Indeed, We have placed over their hearts coverings, lest they understand it, and in their ears deafness. And if you invite them to guidance - they will never be guided, then - ever.
( 58 ) And your Lord is the Forgiving, full of mercy. If He were to impose blame upon them for what they earned, He would have hastened for them the punishment. Rather, for them is an appointment from which they will never find an escape.
( 59 ) And those cities - We destroyed them when they wronged, and We made for their destruction an appointed time.
Remember too how God turned the mighty oil market into a rubble with a small virus that doesn't even kill masses. What would this asteroid do if did collide with earth???

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.

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.
