The chances of it hitting populated areas are pretty slim. For all we know, its gonna hit the Sahara Desert or its gonna hit Vegas. If it hits Vegas, Boo-Hoo.

@wldeanml And another thing: correcting faulty data =/= bashing. Hasn't anybody ever taught you about constructive criticism? Plus, adding supplemental information doesn't even begin to count as criticism. Why u so mad, wldeanml?
By this time a heat laser or some device will have already been invented to vaporize or destroy such an object on an occasion such as this, so there's no need to be afraid right now.
you know, I do love how we try to find the asteroids in space to determine if they are a threat to us. Even if it is, such as Apophis, whats to say we have, or will have the means of doing somethin about it? we also havnt found EVERY space rock out there yet, so we could be wiped out in the next hour for all we know. "Its a big sky"
Ohmyygoshh. I'm such an adiot, i mean, im 13 and i love looking up astrology and now this video just got me scared, why do I even look these things up!
@Avifan09 No don't say you're stupid, you're not because you're interested in the real universe, just a mix up of words no big deal. But now you can tell people Astrology is crap lol.
I feel you should mention that Apophis is a measly 300 meters across; even if it would collide with the Earth, it would not amount to a massive Apocalypse.
The bulk of its damage will be economical; the impact proper would cause either a tsunami, or a large crater; either way, we'll be aware of it YEARS before it happens; we'd spend a ton of money, moving people and industry, so the damage would be minimal. Boo hoo.
@wldeanml Well, it isn't; at its widest it's 270 meters. That's an important variation, when you consider that volume depends on the product of all 3 lengths. I'd also mention that Apophis' impact probability is constantly refined, and the latest available, published in Oct. 2009, so plenty of time before this vid was made, is 1 in 250,000. Also notable is that most its potential impact sites fall either in the ocean, or in Siberia.
Everything I said is both old news, and pretty important.
@StrikaAmaru You're implying tdarnell is promoting that Apophis will end all life on Earth when he really isn't. And in a condescending tone for that matter. You attempt to discredit his video with your shitty 'boo hoo' remark; I would consider that bashing.
Don't do it to someone who contributes to life more than you do.
@StrikaAmaru I feel you should watch the video. It is mentioned that it is indeed 300 meters, and it is scheduled to a 1 in 37 chance to hit the Earth in April, 2029...
@sneezeachoo1 At 1:55, it mentions Apophis is *400* meters across. In reality, it's between 270 and 350. This was known in 2006.
The probability of impact for 2029 is zero; it will definitely be a flyby. For 2036, the probability is at most 1 in 250,000. The orbit, and thus the probability of impact, has constantly been refined until the asteroid was obscured by the Sun, and will be refined even more when it will be visible again. The numbers above are computed in 2009, 2 years before the video.
Here is the deal... I am not afraid of this to happen anymore :) I'm over 20 years old, and these thoughts I had was when I where about 14 - 15, a long time ago. But I KNOW there are people out there that are still having problems just like I did, give THEM some piece! Not only would it be an interesting video, but it would (as I said) bring many people peace!
Thanks for so many people thumbing up my comment here :) It shows that tdarnell got such amazing fans! Keep looking up people! thanks
@96stewie96 I mean blow it off course before it comes not blow it up. It may not even have to be a missile maybe just a small rocket or a bunch of them.
It's going to hit Jan 8 & 9, 2013. Then again on Apr 15, 2029. The NASA Orbit Diagram doesn't show it hitting in 2036, but then maybe there's something about the Keyhole I don't know.
now can we really relay on what nasa said I mean lets be honest any government or institution knowing of an appending catastrophe that would affect more or less the entire earth & can not be easily prevented would not tell the population so to maintain order.
they need to brake that object (magnetically or with rockets), put it in a neutral earth orbit or tow it to a desert location and mine the shit out of it.
@Baldurthegood magnetically won't probally work unless it's an iron meteorite, large scale mining in space is out of our reach technologically, attaching a rocket too it would probably not work due to the fact that chemical rockets are usually discarded when leaveing earth, and carrying it all the way too an asteroid is probably gonna take too much fuel, UNLESS we use prototype engines (ion drives, though currently slow might work) or nuclear pulse engines, which the problem is that it's illegal
@LostInALoveHangover dude this astroid is very dangerous my friend .. his speed in space is 10 times faster than a bullet...so imagine if u shot a small ball from a short distance ..the same thing will happen to earth ... the astroid is the bullet and earth is that ball .. so the damages are catastrophic, the astroid will go deep the ground around 3 miles and makes 40 waves of tsunami (4 miles high) and this astroid will be destroyed when he hit the ground and the leftovers will be all over ..
@Atheist961 lol. Yes if you were using a 9mm and a tennis ball. Apophis Would be more like a grain of sand the diameter of a human hair hitting a basket ball. It doesn't have nearly nearly enough mass to tear the earth apart. It might destroy a city and some towns and maybe scatter harmful debris a few hundred or thousand miles, but it wont wipe out life on earth or even our civilization.
@ChristopherrrJames you really shouldn't worry:) The chances are 1 in 250,000 and it's only the size of two football fields put together. Now, out of the ENTIRE WORLD only two football fields. The asteroid that hit for the dinosaurs caused 100,000 (it was either that are 1 million) tons of impact while this would only cause 226. So all in all, no need to worry:)
@ChristopherrrJames No... well unless you live in north/northeast asia, africa or the middle east... Or some remote island in the pacific... I think youll be ok. Besides, it happens all the time. babies get left in dumpsters and port-a-jons all the time...
Dude.. I havnt checked out ALL your videos, but you should make a video about what we can do AGAINST such things. That would make life much more easier for those who are scared about this. When I was a kid, this scared me so much, that I could'nt sleep at night at all for several months.
People will get scared for these kinds of results, bring them a little peace and show them what technology we got to prevent this doomsday! Thumbs up if you want a video about this!!!
@yoshuayoshua it is actually quite easy to deflect asteroids, sending a high velocity sattelite to collide with it will prolly make it move some meters, whichwill cause the asteroid to move farther and farther away, due to that slight disturbance. the other way is to send a high powered explosive device that will cause similar disturbances. The hard part is aiming the sattelite/high powered explosive device, and spotting the asteroid itself.
@Ignuus66 I know of such things :) But all I'm sayin' is that it would be cool to have tdarnell could make such a video! "Planetary Defenses" would be a good title ^^. But thanks for the notice, I hope some people can read your comment :)
Do not be afraid, be anxious for nothing neither be afraid, Jesus said, I Am with you until the end of the age. God has power over all these things, Jesus (Yeshua Ha Meseach ben Adonai) Revelations book in the Bible, the last prophecy book speaks point to point on everything that will occur, including about the asteroid. saveholysitesdot com christian ejournal informs and myholyhousedotcom media library about Christ and His return. Confess Him as Lord and He will save you.
@yoshuayoshua Don't worry, we can deflect it if we know it will hit us :)
In 2008, The Planetary Society, a California-based space advocacy group, organized a $50,000 competition to design an unmanned space probe that would 'shadow' Apophis for almost a year, taking measurements that would "determine whether it will impact Earth, thus helping governments decide whether to mount a deflection mission to alter its orbit." The society received 37 entries from 20 countries on 6 continents.
I say we just go out there and blow it up!! But if it is what God wants to happen I don't think we can do much but be hopeful that it doesn't collide with earth.
the first minute was scary as fuck, dude. i was hoping for some nice comet animations with psychadellic music and your deep yet soft voice narrating a wonderful journey, but then this.. damn!
but dont worry, i still like you and i wont go start a suicide cult
is there a possibility that we could send some nukes into space and place it in a certain area where we can set it off near the asteroid. Not destroy it but use the blast of the nukes as a shock wave to throw it it off course?
@Vanquishas Hubble can't image Apophis right now because it's too close to the Sun. They have strict rules about where they can point the HST and rule #1 is "Don't point that thing anywhere near the Sun!"
@tdarnell Hey, what is your thought on 2012? I for one think 2012 is total BS, but, you seem to know ALOT about this, what do you think? And also, arent the Russians trying to make a spaceship that will launch when Apophis flys by, and arent they going to settle it next to it, trying to knock it off orbit? Please do respond, this stuff scares me, really, really bad. :(
@tdarnell I think a meter is 4 feet so, it's 1600 feet? That's not HUGE, but if it does go through the atmosphere, it can cause a massive tidal wave and can cause a chain reaction right?
@Dcookies100: The object is too slow even for producing a fireball. The minimum entry velocity for a fireball is about 16 km/s, Apophis is considerably slower. The direct consequences of a hit are rather small. But I’m not sure what you mean with “chain reaction”? Check the impact results on the earth impact effects website. Reading the according paper is also quite interesting.
@albedoshader: Sorry, I checked the minimum speed for a fireball, it’s 15 km/s, not 16 km/s. If Apophis would hit earth it would be with less than 13 km/s.
@albedoshader If an object weighing a ton hit the Earth while moving at 13 kms it would produce a .01 kiloton explosion. Apophis is about 360 meters in daimeter, and it is currently traveling at 30 kms it would release energy equivalent to 1.1 Gigatons of tnt. If that hits water alot of people are going to die.
@NANOFORGE: You forgot one thing: Apophis breaks up way before it hits the ground, scattering over an area of about 700 m diameter. The impact energy would rather be around 550 MT. The height of a tsunami would largely depend on the distance from the impact, ~1 m at 2000 km distance. A hit on land has only 6.3 magnitudes about 100 km away. That’s not very frightening. The intensity wears off with distance very quickly.
@albedoshader: Besides, there’s enough warning time to evacuate the coasts in question. It’s not an earthquake, it’s an asteroid, so its impact date (in case it hits) is known for years.
@albedoshader Yeah apophis would cause some damage but it really depends on where it hits. A water impact would be deavastating. However apophis is no global killer, it would have to produce energy in the multi Teraton range to be considered that.
thats it folks nothing to worry about till 2036 ...pay no attension to the present earthquake swarms volcanos super storms if u really think that what the world is going through now is normal activity and there fore nothing to worry about then i think u are seriously nieve i,m not saying were not going to face serious problems down the line ..but i do believe that right now is where the danger lies and where ourattension must focus ...peace
@spaceinvader79 coz its only 400m wide dude,nothing to get your knickers in a twist over...but we the world are praying for it to strike the us,so fingers crossed
@Slacktoo cous saying "two thousand and twenty nine" is allot longer then just saying "twenty twenty nine" also if u write it it's allot shoter... ppl these days are all about saving time... making a word shorter to save some time...
@spaceinvader79 2012 is not based on myth, many ancient cultures had advanced knowledge of our universe that we have only recently confirmed. It is not a stretched to think that they had knowledge that we have yet to confirm through science.
@abadubie: It depends on how old your students are. If they're young enough (and lacking in malice), they might not even interpret the "breathing" sound as pedophilic.
friday the 13th eh? dude, you are scaring me. also, why are we focusing all our attention to this comet? this could allow for another to slip right under our nose. however, there is a good thing about this comet. since it will hit us (well, hopefully not) on april 13th, we wont have to pay that year's taxes!
It's annoying how even official animations from Nasa portray fields of asteroids as dense belts of rocks like in StarWars. In reality, you would be lucky to glimpse a single rock in the middle of the asteroid belt, so vast are the distances involved.
@Danny77uk Well I guess it's to make it stand out better, how would you receive the impression of a large number of objects if they're so spaced out that you could only see one at a time? Showing a black background with a tiny rock in the center would not give that impression, even if the scale would be the correct one :)
I think it'd be an interesting exercise to send some large nukes to blow it up now and see what happens. If any big chunks are still in our bath, we'll have a long time to address those, too. It'd be a good practice run to characterize the effectiveness of destroying or deflecting asteroids.
But will we be able to look at it with the naked eye while it passes? If so, will it be clear like a second moon, or more like a fuzzy comet? And how long will it stay?

In 2008, The Planetary Society, a California-based space advocacy group, organized a $50,000 competition to design an unmanned space probe that would 'shadow' Apophis for almost a year, taking measurements that would "determine whether it will impact Earth, thus helping governments decide whether to mount a deflection mission to alter its orbit." The society received 37 entries from 20 countries on 6 continents.

There's no problem if Apophis can hit us. We can send some rockets and destroy it.

I say we just go out there and blow it up!! But if it is what God wants to happen I don't think we can do much but be hopeful that it doesn't collide with earth.

is there a possibility that we could send some nukes into space and place it in a certain area where we can set it off near the asteroid. Not destroy it but use the blast of the nukes as a shock wave to throw it it off course?

@Vanquishas Hubble can't image Apophis right now because it's too close to the Sun. They have strict rules about where they can point the HST and rule #1 is "Don't point that thing anywhere near the Sun!"

And also, arent the Russians trying to make a spaceship that will launch when Apophis flys by, and arent they going to settle it next to it, trying to knock it off orbit? Please do respond, this stuff scares me, really, really bad. :(

juna2509 5 months ago
@tdarnell I think a meter is 4 feet so, it's 1600 feet? That's not HUGE, but if it does go through the atmosphere, it can cause a massive tidal wave and can cause a chain reaction right?
Dcookies100 4 months ago
@Dcookies100: 1 meter equals 3.28 ft, 1 ft is 30.48 cm.
albedoshader 4 months ago
@Dcookies100: The object is too slow even for producing a fireball. The minimum entry velocity for a fireball is about 16 km/s, Apophis is considerably slower. The direct consequences of a hit are rather small. But I’m not sure what you mean with “chain reaction”? Check the impact results on the earth impact effects website. Reading the according paper is also quite interesting.
albedoshader 4 months ago
@albedoshader: Sorry, I checked the minimum speed for a fireball, it’s 15 km/s, not 16 km/s. If Apophis would hit earth it would be with less than 13 km/s.
albedoshader 4 months ago
@albedoshader If an object weighing a ton hit the Earth while moving at 13 kms it would produce a .01 kiloton explosion. Apophis is about 360 meters in daimeter, and it is currently traveling at 30 kms it would release energy equivalent to 1.1 Gigatons of tnt. If that hits water alot of people are going to die.
NANOFORGE 3 months ago
@NANOFORGE: You forgot one thing: Apophis breaks up way before it hits the ground, scattering over an area of about 700 m diameter. The impact energy would rather be around 550 MT. The height of a tsunami would largely depend on the distance from the impact, ~1 m at 2000 km distance. A hit on land has only 6.3 magnitudes about 100 km away. That’s not very frightening. The intensity wears off with distance very quickly.
albedoshader 3 months ago
@albedoshader: Besides, there’s enough warning time to evacuate the coasts in question. It’s not an earthquake, it’s an asteroid, so its impact date (in case it hits) is known for years.
albedoshader 3 months ago
@albedoshader Yeah apophis would cause some damage but it really depends on where it hits. A water impact would be deavastating. However apophis is no global killer, it would have to produce energy in the multi Teraton range to be considered that.

I just want to say that this was a great vid, but I have to ad.
The meteor wasn't named directly after Apophis the egyption god, but Apophis the villain in the sci-fi series Stargate SG-1.
The astronomer who discovered the meteor, was a fan of the show and decided to give it the name Apophis.
Keep making vids!

It's annoying how even official animations from Nasa portray fields of asteroids as dense belts of rocks like in StarWars. In reality, you would be lucky to glimpse a single rock in the middle of the asteroid belt, so vast are the distances involved.
Danny77uk 1 year ago
@Danny77uk Well I guess it's to make it stand out better, how would you receive the impression of a large number of objects if they're so spaced out that you could only see one at a time? Showing a black background with a tiny rock in the center would not give that impression, even if the scale would be the correct one :)
geort45 1 year ago
I think it'd be an interesting exercise to send some large nukes to blow it up now and see what happens. If any big chunks are still in our bath, we'll have a long time to address those, too. It'd be a good practice run to characterize the effectiveness of destroying or deflecting asteroids.
