The impact disaster Apophis asteroid was discovered in 2004 and is more than two football fields wide and 390 meters wide. In Egyptian mythology,

"Apophis" is an ancient evil and demon of destruction whose purpose is to plunge the entire world into eternal darkness. That's why astronomers named the asteroid that was heading straight for Earth from outer space

"Apophis" because at that time scientists deduced that this asteroid would pose an unprecedented catastrophic threat to humanity. The asteroid used to be called

"2004MN4".It has attracted the attention of scientists in recent years due to the possibility of impacting the Earth in the relatively recent future. Scientists once thought if

The impact of the Apophis asteroid on Earth will not lead to global destruction, but it may produce a serious regional disaster. Apophis is believed to have 2.7% of scientists who have carried out orbital calculations and found that

"Apophis" will pass by the Earth in 2029, but it will return to the Earth in 2036 and may break through the atmosphere and collide with the Earth!

"Apophis" is currently on the list

Levels 4 and 10 of the "Torino Scale" mean an inevitable global devastating collision.

Apophis has the highest danger rating of any asteroid ever discovered, and scientists once thought that the probability of a collision with Earth in 2036 was as high as 1 in 37!

It is reported that

"Apophis" is currently on the list

Levels 4 and 10 of the "Torino Scale" mean an inevitable global devastating collision.

Apophis has the highest danger rating of any asteroid ever discovered, with a 1 in 37 chance of colliding with Earth in 2036!

Alan Fitzsimmons, an astronomer at Queen's University Belfast in the United Kingdom, said that when it passes near the Earth on April 13, 2029, the Earth's gravity will change its orbit, and it will return to Earth in 2036 and collide with the Earth. [1] Threat to EarthBritish theoretical physicist and mathematician Stephen Hawking pointed out that due to the threat of near-Earth small objects, human beings must migrate to other suitable planets to escape the fate of extinction. The small near-Earth objects known to pose the greatest threat to Earth are:

"Apophis" asteroid, Apophis asteroid will be in 2029 and Earth

"Passing by"; Since its orbit is altered by the Earth's gravity, it will renew in 2036

If the Apophis asteroid passes through the gravitational eye above the Earth with a probability of 1 in 37 (the gravitational force is only a quarter of the normal value), then it will be dragged into orbit around the Earth and seven years later, in 2036, it will enter the atmosphere from the North Pole, pass over the Siberian Plain, pass through New York and other large cities, circle the Earth and may eventually crash somewhere in North Africa, which is the most dangerous of any small body ever discovered. There are currently more than 100 research groups working around the world

Apophis' space mission research hopes to reduce or eliminate the possibility of a collision as it approaches Earth. Since the 90s of the 20th century, scientists have held various international academic seminars every year to discuss solutions. NASA, the European Space Agency (ESA) and a number of agencies are currently intensifying their monitoring and tracking of small objects that are most likely to endanger the Earth. space

The "clairvoyance" – the Hubble telescope is also constantly monitoring them

"Active" situation. [2] ResponsesIn response to the worst disasters, scientists have previously proposed many theoretical ways to change the orbit of the asteroid that hit the ground. European Space Agency

The "Advanced Concept Group" has devised a method of using a row of artificial satellites or rockets to propel an asteroid off the Earth's trajectory. The most interesting and easy way for scientists to do this is to send a spacecraft to collide violently with an asteroid to change its direction. In order to cope

The threat of "Apophis", which the European Space Agency was preparing to launch

Don Quixote plans to send two spacecraft to a test asteroid. One of the spacecraft is called

"West Dalgo", which will collide with this asteroid at high speed, and another ship is called

The Sankoh spacecraft will measure the asteroid's orbit changes nearby. There are also proposals to use nuclear bombs to blow up asteroids. However, the latest observations may make people more confused

The panic caused by "Apophis" has eased. Now, the University of Hawaii is using the latest observations from astronomical telescopes deployed near the summit of Mount Mauna Kea, an extinct volcano on the island of Hawaii and the highest mountain in the Pacific Ocean at a height of 4.183 meters, allowing scientists to recalculate the trajectory of the space monolith. Fortunately, the new trajectory shows that it is almost impossible for the asteroid to hit Earth. [2] The latest study of the Apophis asteroid has been one of the most interesting objects since its discovery in 2004, and Steve Chesley, a near-Earth object scientist at NASA's Jet Propulsion Institute, said that the latest calculations and recent data suggest that the probability of Apophis hitting Earth on April 13, 2036, has dropped from 1 in 45,000 to about 4 in 1 million. Scientists still believe that the asteroid will be 18,300 miles (29,450 kilometers) above the Earth's surface on April 13, 2029, setting a record for the closest thing to Earth, which is certainly harmless to Earth. The latest data shows:

The asteroid Apophis will approach the Earth again in 2068 and there is a 3 in a million chance that it will hit the Earth. With

Further collection of information on the orbit of the Apophis asteroid will be ruled out in the event of other near-term impacts. Accurate orbital calculations further suggest that the Apophis asteroid will also attract the attention of the scientific community, but it should not cause any panic. Don Yomans, director of the Office of Near-Earth Object Research at NASA's Jet Propulsion Institute, said the public can keep an eye on the Apophis asteroid and other NEOs. [
