Comets are difficult to predict; we currently know of no comets that will be visible in 2012, but new ones are discovered periodically.

No asteroids that we are aware of will approach the Earth very closely before April 13, 2029, when the asteroid Apophis will come fairly close the Earth. (But it will miss.)

It was in February 2012 about a year before its close approach to Earth in February 2013.

No, a comet will NOT hit earth in 2012.


Will asteroid 2012 DA14 hit earth in 2013?

No. The asteroid has passed, having missed Earth by about 17,000 miles. That's fairly close, but scientists new it would miss by about that much.


Is there a 2012 asteroid?

yes, the asteroid tauntless is a space rock which crosses orbits with earth every 'so many' years, it will come close to the planet but no actually collide with it though, (or let's hope it doesn't!)


Will a comet crash in to the earth in 2012?

It may, or it may not. There is no particular reason to assume that a comet will crash into Earth precisely in 2012.


Will you die in 2012 because of the comet?

No, there is no comet coming near Earth in 2012. All of the 2012 stuff is just a hoax.


When is the next comet hitting the earth?

While we are certain that a large comet or asteroid certainly WILL hit the Earth, we have no good candidates in mind. It will probably take us by surprise. A few years ago, astronomers identified a large asteroid that appeared to be headed right for us! It was going to hit the Earth in 2029! On Friday the 13th! Ooops! Never mind...... Tuned out that with more accurate observations of the asteroid's orbit, it probably won't hit at all. Might not even come close enough to see. But scientists are coming to recognize that while a major asteroid strike is a VERY unlikely event, if it DOES happen, it would ruin everybody's day. So astronomers have started watching for Near Earth Objects, and hope to identify and catalog every asteroid bigger than a basketball to make sure that it does NOT hit earth. At least, not any time soon.


Which comet will pass through earth in 2012?

none we hope .

What asteroid will hit earth in 2012?

No significant asteroid will hit Earth in 2012. Asteroids hit Earth every year, most, if not all disinterate in the atmosphere. Only a few reach the surface. The 21st December 2012 myth is nothing more than a hoax.


Do the 2012 Comet destroy the Earth?

What does DA14 mean for an asteroid?

This asteroid does exist, found in less than two weeks before the Spanish La Sagra Observatory astronomer, 2012 DA14 just temporary number. Has been found to connect 10 days of observation, astronomers generally determined its orbit, similar to the Earth's orbit, but the inclination is large. Therefore, most of the time, the asteroid away from Earth came away. But it does have two opportunities each year the asteroid can run very close to the distance of the Earth. Just said, year 2 chances will run to the near Earth asteroid. Last February 16 this year, when it was closest to the earth about 250 million kilometers, equivalent to the Earth-Moon distance of 6 times, partial, or very far. However, next year's February 15, 2012 DA14l indeed close to the Earth. It grazed from about 21,000 kilometers from the Earth's surface, the height of the geostationary orbit communications satellites used to broadcast television signals are low than us! Though this is really close to the Earth rub in the past, but still just "rub." In the past it does not hit the Earth. 21000 meters in astronomy scale is really close to the standards of everyday life, this distance is far enough. It is unlikely to hit the Earth in February 2012 DA14 next year.
