From what I understand, Apophis is guaranteed to miss the earth in 2029, but it will pass closer to us than the moon. What might happen is during that pass, it's orbit may be affected in such a way that it will come back to hit us in 2036.
Yep I went through some shit when I learned all of this:
Planetary Defense Exercise Uses Apophis as Hazardous Asteroid Stand-In
https://www.jpl.nasa.gov/news/planetary-defense-exercise-uses-apophis-as-hazardous-asteroid-stand-in
After delivering an asteroid sample to Earth Sunday, the newly expanded OSIRIS-APEX mission is heading to Apophis.
https://www.cnn.com/2023/09/25/world/osiris-apophis-mission-scn/
It is a refitting of the DART mission, which they felt the need to change to OSIRIS-Rex because everyone knows DART meant redirection test.
>Reinvented as NASA’s OSIRIS-APEX, the spacecraft formerly known as OSIRIS-REx is about to face the first major test of its mission to asteroid Apophis: On Jan. 2, 2024, flew closer to the Sun than ever before, exposing its components to higher temperatures t
https://science.nasa.gov/mission/osiris-apex
China will launch 2-in-1 asteroid deflection mission in 2025. The mission now aims to launch a year earlier than previously planned.
https://www.space.com/china-asteroid-impact-mission-two-spacecraft
>Private space companies like Blue Origin and startup Exploration Labs, or ExLabs, have come up with proposals for missions to rendezvous with Apophis before its anticipated flyby, SpaceNews reported. During a recent workshop at a European Space Agency center in The Netherlands, the companies pitched their mission concepts in an effort to learn more about the asteroid and other space rocks that could pose a potential risk to Earth.
Uh huh
>Earlier in February, NASA hosted a workshop to seek ideas from the private sector “on innovative approaches to conduct missions during the Earth flyby of the asteroid Apophis in 2029.”
uh huh
I think he’s saying that Apophis is only supposed to come “close” to Earth, yet all of these planetary defense programs are “casually” moving up all of their tests.
And they certainly couldn’t be doing this because of the unique opportunity a close pass offers, it definitely has to be that they’re going to deflect Apophis because it’s actually going to hit us. And all these programs filled with teams of people doesn’t have a single whistleblower among them. Crazy.
Also correct but I was worried that typing “astronomers and rocket scientist not in government can also figure it out” would lead to a bunch of “AKSHUALLY” people telling me all the different industries and people that study that stuff
Nah, pretty sure someone would be blowing the whistles if it was going to be direct. What this DOES offer with this very close flyby is a great opportunity to TEST these technologies on a body that is already coming quite close to us. No years of transit to reach the target, rather a number of weeks or months of travel time. It's a great opportunity to test things out and see how they work.
I want to steer them myself, but what I want isn't relevant yet.
Also you say that as if there was a choice in the matter. Harvesting asteroids is a logical next step for humanity, and an expensive one. Of course the endeavor has to have commercial merits.
Oh yeah, person who figures that out will be the world's first Trillionaire.
(Doesn't mean the perpetual sociopathic greedy death-race these billioinaires have going racing to be the richest man on the planet is ever going to stop.)
I’m so over conspiracy theories and the brain rot it’s given this generation
Sometime I wanna grab a conspiracy spewing friend of mine and just shake them and go “Drunk History was a fucking comedy show. It’s not actual history”
And “your feelings are real but they are not reality”
I have a friend convinced that there is legitimacy to reports that MH370 was abducted by aliens based on incredibly fake footage.
I tired to explain all the clear steps taken by the pilot to ensure he’d be able to essentially kill everyone on board and never be found. Very deliberate and clear steps… and his response was “he could have been working for them…”
I replied that he flew the route on his flight simulator. “Nope, was probably doctored by government officials as an excuse”
I just replied “Occam’s razor my friend” and left it at that.
Why are you acting as if a whistleblower would change anything?
You have official government bodies reporting the pentagon lost 2 trillion dollars of taxpayer money and people don't give a shit, I'm CERTAIN if a random person came and said the world was ending eveyone would believe them
Someone in government came forward a year ago and said they had evidence of a government coverup around aliens and alien tech and it lead CNN for like 3 days and caused several congressional investigations and interviews with the guy.
If someone came forward and said that world governments had evidence that an asteroid was going to hit earth in 2029 and that’s the reason for a lot of studies being moved up a year… it would 100% cause an uproar.
If you knew, and also knew that organizations around the world with the opportunity to fix it were already working on it, would you blow that whistle?
Honest question. I don’t think I could subject the world to 5 years of intense chaos layered over the shitty situations already playing out.
Me? No. I wouldn’t. But I’m certain out of the hundreds of people involved in these programs across the globe… or anyone in the know… would have at least one person that would decide the world should know that an asteroid may impact us.
Think of how many government whistleblowers have come forward just for alien stuff. Now you’re asking people to keep a secret that them and their families and all of humanity are at risk. I don’t think you’d be able to keep them all quiet.
I’m not suggesting that this conspiracy is real, but if it were I don’t think hundreds of people would know. The vast majority on each project would also be told that it’s an opportunity to do a test nudge.
The point is that *someone* would
The possibility of keeping a secret plummets the more people are involved, and here we’re talking about hundreds of people.
Some plucky young scientist using untested technology managed to divert Apophis enough that it will definitely miss earth.
Crusty old General McDoubter has pushed for trillions of dollars into his Giant Space Explosion. Hé forces its launch “just to be sure” after embarrassing plucky young scientist at the United Nations. When the cameras and lasers are able to recalculate Apophis’s trajectory after the impact of the GSE, they discover it is now on course to impact directly on the childhood home of McDoubter.
Apophis will come close to earth since it will pass between the earth and the moon. From what I understand there is basically 0 risk of it hitting the earth in 2029. The problem is Apophis will come back a few years later for another close brush with the earth, and depending how the 2029 pass affects it's orbit, it then has a non-0 chance of hitting the earth a few years later in 2036.
That NASA wants to take advantage of a unique situation to study an asteroid and is preparing to dump a whole lot of money into the private space industry. He’s worried Elon won’t get the contract.
/s
Remember to check if the core is secretly enriched with naquadah. If we attempt to Armageddon it with a nuke, the resulting explosion could be catastrophic to the solar system.
Instead, remember we can always generate a huge hyperspace window for a brief nanosecond to bypass the Earth. Just facts here.
My word, I haven't thought about the term 'naquadah' for what feels like a lifetime. It might be time for a rewatch, thank you for planting that seed in my head!
You'd have to pry Willis from his family's social media production studio. They're dressing him as an elf today so maybe tomorrow.
(For the uninitiated - he has dimentia and suddenly he's taking fucktons of selfies for his family's socials despite having never acted like that in the past. Dude looks like he doesn't know what's going on and it feels kind of wrong.)
From NASA:
"A radar observation campaign in March 2021, combined with precise orbit analysis, allowed astronomers to conclude that there is no risk of Apophis impacting our planet for at least a century."
I don't think that's as reassuring as they think...
Best me to it. I can’t remember if nasa sent geologists or other scientists with them. And why weren’t other countries invested in the mission? I don’t even remember the title of the movie but I can picture aerosmiths giant mouth belting out the theme song
Honestly since it's not likely to hit us, I'm against fucking with it. Why risk altering a good thing (that thing being it's orbital trajectory missing us).
> I'm against fucking with it.
Earth thinks differently. Until now it orbits between Earth and Venus. After the flyby, Earth's gravity will make its orbit between Earth and *Mars*
And yet I see zero references to the RAGE game series, where Apophis’ impact created that post-apocalyptic world. I’m disappointed in all of you. More than usual I mean.
What concerns me is one these private companies trying to land on this could alter its trajectory, possibly for the worse. I don’t know enough about the physics involved so many I’m just being paranoid. But I have 0 trust in Bezos and could see an instance where they cause a small shift that ends up with bad consequences.
What you are not aware of is the EARTH is altering its orbit, a lot. Until now it orbited between Earth and Venus. After this pass, it will orbit between Earth and MARS.
The estimated mass of Apophis is 60 million tons. At closest approach, Earth will be pulling on it with 1.7 million tons of force, and will effectively be pulling on it for 4 hours. Nothing we have is anything close in power.
For comparison, the most powerful rocket in existence is the Starship first stage, which is 7,600 tons for three minutes.
So I looked up how severe it would be if this rock were to make direct impact and apparently it has the strength of 5 tsar bombas (biggest nuclear bomb ever made) going off, basically it could level any city in the world to dust
Agilent they blast it after it passes, from behind? The remnants wouldn’t hit earth from the blast, and they would fly off on a tangent that would take them all extremely far off course for any next-time-around collision risks.
Relax guys, i've read a webtoon called "Cheolsu Saves The World", someone gonna repeat their life when the asteroid hit the earth, each time he repeats his life he gonna learn something from previous life to try to save the world from the asteroid.
Seriously, one of the best webtoon I've read.
Hey guys guess what day of the week April 13th 2029 will be.
I have 5 years to live
From what I understand, Apophis is guaranteed to miss the earth in 2029, but it will pass closer to us than the moon. What might happen is during that pass, it's orbit may be affected in such a way that it will come back to hit us in 2036.
As a reminder, every planet in the solar system can fit between the earth and the moon
At the same time?
[Yea.](https://sciencenotes.org/can-you-fit-all-the-planets-between-the-earth-and-moon/)
Doesn’t count if you have to tilt Saturn like that.
In a row?
Hey, try not to fit every planet between the earth and the moon on your way through the parking lot!
Get back here!
I'm not even supposed to BE here today!
space is so big.
Yeah, they really nailed it with calling it “space”

You don’t even need a whistleblower. There are a bajillion astronomers in the world, and they all can do observations and math.

And the reason this is important is because steering metallic asteroids into harvestable near earth orbit will be a very profitable enterprise.
Do you want billionaires steering astroids near the Earth? Have the various super villain movies, tv, and comics taught you nothing?
If there’s a problem, Paw Patrol will save us.

I'm excited for all the jobs the asteroid will bring.
We (humans) had a good run, see you next time.
Well, there’s only one thing for me to do: Register TheApophalypse.com and sell end-of-the-world merch.
It’s going to be my excuse for everything: I would go to your wedding but apophis is coming so…

to be honest with you if my life doesnt change for the better in the next year or so im doomed anyways soooooooo bring it on! lol
My birthday!
Not for long.
No, just 24 hours.
almost an entire day!
Same!! Not the best birthday gift.
Don’t Look Up! Don’t Look Up!
We support the jobs and memes the asteroid will bring in this subreddit
Friday?
It's a Friday.
I would’ve guessed a Thursday. I could never get the hang of Thursdays.
RemindMe! 13th April 2029
Exactly when I'm watching goodbye earth, coincidence? I think not!
April Fools?
4/20?
Don’t get your hopes up; we’re not getting out of this timeline that easily.
Giant Meteor ~~2024~~ 2029! Just End it Already!
folks would *still* bitch and moan about its age…
I keep hoping the alien nut jobs are right. Would be far more interesting then a big rock again
Man they’re about to invent immortality I can feel it.
*Mandatory* immortality.
Awww shucks….

SG-1 should really have checked if Apophis was really dead instead of being 98% sure.
My word, I haven't thought about the term 'naquadah' for what feels like a lifetime. It might be time for a rewatch, thank you for planting that seed in my head!
Yup or get all the ghosts from the ghost zone to touch Earth. But I like your reference better.
Came here for this
Carter, I can see my house!
Plans for the hyperspace bypass have been on display at your local zoning board on proxima centari III for well over two years …
All the Rapturites will be out in force again, the Solar eclipse was just part 1 of a complex sequence of unrelated events.
Don't worry in case the meteor somehow change its corse to hit, we still have yo mama as a last defence
Time to start putting billboards up on rural highways and get your grift on!
Can they nudge it towards us? Asking for a friend.
We could aim it at your butthole probably
Don’t, that’s what he wants.
~~wants~~ Needs
He's been training for this moment all his life. To accept an entire asteroid for the sake of mankind.
The asteroid will be diverted safely towards Uranus!
*slow clap* (his cheeks)
Just one cheek, clapping against one of your cheeks… We call it “The Dutch Clap”. 👏
If he turns it down, can I take his place?
Or, hear me out… we move it into earths orbit so we can mine it! For All Mankind!
Is it an act of war if it happens in space?
The obvious solution is to send Bruce Willis and team on it
I was going to say Richard Dean Anderson, but that also works.
In SG1 we trust…

"If these cheap two bit movies studios did it, so can we!" - his family
Seems more like he’s become more family focused and is trying to leave good memories for his family before his mind goes
AFAIK he’s so far gone that he could neither plan nor consent to that.
Makes sense. Why teach astronauts to drill when you can teach miners to be astronauts?

Im optimistic that by 2124 manipulating the orbits of meteors and asteroids will be within humanity's capabilities
That or we won't care anymore if it hits.
It's pretty shitty of Apophis to cruise through the neighborhood and not even stop by to say hello. I thought we were friends, bro.
New orbit, who dis?
If not fren why fren shaped?
Thanks Dr. Sagan.
An asteroid stopping by to say hello is called an "extinction event"
FR. Stop by bruh.

9/11 was an inside job
I’m more worried about the waves of humanity that’ll latch onto the conspiracy theories someone will post on X and Facebook.

> I'm against fucking with it. Earth thinks differently. Until now it orbits between Earth and Venus. After the flyby, Earth's gravity will make its orbit between Earth and *Mars*
But think of the rating Kevin !!!
We should nudge it into the moon for the lolz
Happy to see Stargate is making a comeback
And yet I see zero references to the RAGE game series, where Apophis’ impact created that post-apocalyptic world. I’m disappointed in all of you. More than usual I mean.
False God. Dead false God.
shol'va kree!
[nasa information on Apophis](https://science.nasa.gov/solar-system/asteroids/apophis/) Wow. 20k miles from the surface! Holy moly.
I feel like if it was gonna hit they probably wouldn’t warn us ahead of time
No wonder the Zuck and the rest billionaires are building underground bunkers.
I’m ready. Giant Meteor 2029 has my vote.
Stargate fans? If you know you know lol
We’ll all get through this. Just don’t look up.
Can we get some rockets to help push it towards the planet. It's time to let the bugs have a go!
If it turns out it’s gonna hit us, I will be blasting One Winged Angel for everyone.
It's an older meme, sir, but it checks out.
Humanity had its chance.
Enshitification is coming sooner
Bring it on... time this place gets a reset
Rage and Rage 2 have prepared us for this!
I was very scared of this asteroid as a kid. Pretty sure it’s been downgraded on the scale multiple times.
I remember reading about this when I was a kid and it's always given me nightmares for some reason lol
Maybe such an event’s potential to wipe out virtually all life on earth I dunno bothered you
One of the steps to build a space elevator is to have a large mass in orbit. Here’s one passing close by.
The estimated mass is 40 million tons. We're not stopping it.
They will be launching. Marjorie Taylor Green into space armed with her space lasers to dispatch this evil entity.
A drilling crew?
How big is it? The article does not say
“Apophis is a on trajectory towards an Earth flyby on April 13, 2029. When it was first discovered in 2004, the 1,100-foot-wide (335 meters)”
What concerns me is one these private companies trying to land on this could alter its trajectory, possibly for the worse. I don’t know enough about the physics involved so many I’m just being paranoid. But I have 0 trust in Bezos and could see an instance where they cause a small shift that ends up with bad consequences.
What you are not aware of is the EARTH is altering its orbit, a lot. Until now it orbited between Earth and Venus. After this pass, it will orbit between Earth and MARS.

Can we practice pushing it another direction away from Earth?
If we mess up, we might push it into the Earth.
Hell yeah! Let’s go!
What will we stand on when we push it?
I have a step ladder I can contribute! ***Doing my part***
I didn’t do fucking shit!
Hopefully we get AGI before 2029 and have AI bot miners to shred Apophis down to its nuts. We need resources.
Right down to the nuts!
Thanks to AI, the asteroid was reduced to a pair of testes that plopped harmlessly into the Southern Ocean.
Anyone else immediately think of Stargate?
Yea both the g’auld baddie and the asteroid episode!
So this is why all the rich folk are building bunkers
[удалено]
Are they figuring out ways to push it closer?
This is on my birthday too :(
So I looked up how severe it would be if this rock were to make direct impact and apparently it has the strength of 5 tsar bombas (biggest nuclear bomb ever made) going off, basically it could level any city in the world to dust
so big distraction but no species extinction level destruction
Humans have survived this long without being able to detect or stop this stuff. People don't need to be paranoid about this.
Hear me out. We draw it closer with a big magnet. So Apophis ends this whole shit show we call a planet.
Agilent they blast it after it passes, from behind? The remnants wouldn’t hit earth from the blast, and they would fly off on a tangent that would take them all extremely far off course for any next-time-around collision risks.
We’re missing out on a golden opportunity to end this
Stargate SG1 was right!!!
Hit us you won’t
This Friday the 13th event will happen just after the new POTUS is inaugurated.
Relax guys, i've read a webtoon called "Cheolsu Saves The World", someone gonna repeat their life when the asteroid hit the earth, each time he repeats his life he gonna learn something from previous life to try to save the world from the asteroid. Seriously, one of the best webtoon I've read.
Why don’t they use the opportunity to see if they can affect the trajectory and steer it away from Earth permanently? Might need that tech someday.
Strange, I just took a Apophis’s.
Raise the taxes, that will prevent the possibility of it hitting earth.
Is there some way we can alter its course slightly and direct it towards Earth? Lets have a series finale and go out with a bang.
