Asteroid headed towards U.S.?
There is one known asteroid which has some slight probability of colliding with the Earth. (There are no doubt many things on a collision course with Earth of which we are blissfully unaware.) This asteroid is called Apophis. It is a space rock which will pass close to Earth on Friday, April 13, 2029. Apophis will not hit the Earth on that pass, but the worry is that there will be some gravitational perturbation that might cause Apophis to come closer than expected on Friday, April 13, 2037. Current calculations indicate that the chance of a collision is about one chance in 40,000. There are other rocks in space that will occasionally come close. Someday, one of them will hit us. We don't know when.
Is aphopis coming to earth?
Apophis will pass near the Earth on April 13, 2029 within the orbits of geosynchronous communication satellites. It will not come closer to Earth than 19,400 miles.
Is the meteor apophis blue?
First, Apophis as an asteroid, not a meteor. A meteor is an object that has entered the atmosphere. Apophis is probably gray in color.
How long did Apophis and Bast fight?
Apophis fought Bast for 7 years.

Will Eris end up near The Earth When And What will be the effects?
NO! It is always further away from the Sun than Neptune which is 30 further from the Sun than Earth and minor planet Apophis. Apophis will come very close to Earth, but it is just 270 m in diameter... If it impacts Earth it causes just a tsunami if it hits the sea.
How many times did Apophis die in Stargate SG-1?
Two times: the first time, he died in SGC base from sickness (or something like that) the second time, he died because his "Hatak" mothership fell in a planet because the Replicators broke it.

Will apophis hit earth?
They don't think so, but it will be very close in 2029. There is more concern about the next time it comes by, but that's really not that far off, it will be in 2036. _____________________________________________ When Apophis comes close to Earth (and it will be VERY close on an astronomical scale - below the altitude of geosynchronous satellites!) on Friday, April 13, 2029, it WILL MISS. However, we cannot accurately predict PRECISELY how close it will come, and how the orbit of Apophis will be altered by the Earth's gravity. And when Apophis returns to near-Earth space, on Friday, April 13, 3036, there is a very small chance that it will strike the Earth. However, during the close pass in 2029, we will plant telemetry sensors and radar reflectors which will enable us to track it with perfect accuracy. And if we're smart - and nobody ever accused NASA of being smart! - we will also plant two very large nuclear weapons on Apophis. Then, several months later, when we've had time to calculate its orbit to see exactly where it will be in 2036, we can determine whether one or both of the weapons should be detonated to nudge Apophis into a safer orbit. And if it turns out that Apophis is not going to hit the Earth in 2036, then we can ignore them and watch the pretty asteroid scoot by. And in 2050 or so, we ought to be able to capture the asteroid and move it into a parking orbit, perhaps in the L4 or L5 points on the Moon's orbit. Just think; if this all works out, your grandchildren may live in the Apophis Station!
