plus they would never tell us an asteroid that big would be coming, they would try their asses off to keep it undercover. The public would probably go insane if it was real.
99942 Apophis is a near-Earth asteroid that caused a brief period of concern in December 2004 because initial observations indicated a small probability (up to 2.7%) that it would strike the Earth in 2029. Additional observations provided improved predictions that eliminated the possibility of an impact on Earth or the Moon in 2029. However, a possibility remained that during the 2029 close encounter with Earth, Apophis would pass through a gravitational keyhole, a precise region in space no more than about a half-mile wide, that would set up a future impact on April 13, 2036. This possibility kept the asteroid at Level 1 on the Torino impact hazard scale until August 2006, when the probability that Apophis will pass through the keyhole was determined to be very small. Apophis broke the record for the highest level on the Torino Scale, being, for only a short time, a level 4, before it was lowered. Its diameter is approximately 270 meters (885 ft). As of October 7, 2009, the probability of an April 13, 2036 impact is considered to be 1 in 250,000. Of objects not recently observed, there are 7 asteroids with a more notable Palermo Technical Impact Hazard Scale than Apophis.
Asteroid 2004 MN4 will come scarily close to Earth on April 13, 2029, but it will not hit.
>mfw you don't read the article correctly
WHICH could come into Earth's orbit and could possibly pull it in.
You're dumb.it's a 2.7% chance.
It's still something we should worry about. They've found dwarf-planet sized asteroids in the asteroid belt.
not in the asteroid beltin the kuiper belt, yes. and that's pretty damn far away.
