Re: Asteroid Apophis Approaching Earth
its worth noting this should be watched because subaru checked and the trajectory has changed since the last observations due to solar activity, they scheduled observation time in mid march to see if there is any cause for concern. its also worth noting that 40km up is barely in space as it is and any 1 foot shift in trajectory this many yrs in advance becomes up to several km closer or further by 2029

i have two questions,

1 can you see the asteroid belt with your telescope?

2 why doesn't the asteroid belt appear in the night sky as a ring reflecting the sunlight? does sunlight not reflect on the asteroid belt?

Re: Asteroid Apophis Approaching Earth
This or any other asteroid will never destroy the earth guaranteed.

God promise the earth will be refined by fire and re-created for the elect of God as was intended in the beginning of this planets existence.

We are in "judgment day" and the foolishness of this sin tainted world is in its final phase as the fast approaching last day will usher in paradise for the remnant chosen by grace and the eternal death of never existing again for the billions that are in open rebellion against God, this is the payment that Christ paid for at the foundation of the world and demostrated at the Cross for His chosen people.

I would suggest seek to find out if I'm one of God's elect instead of wasting presious time concern about something that will never happen.

The world is under God's wrath, this is what is being experience globally and will only get worse however, God's elect are not under judgment, the wrath of God,but will go through the spiritual fire and will endure by grace till the end, this is also guaranteed..

Re: Asteroid Apophis Approaching Earth

Asteroid apophis is currently approaching Earth and is bright enough to see with an amateur telescope and deep space CCD camera. I tracked it last night for about an hour and created the above time lapse. Later tonight it will pass in front of a relatively bright star designated HD 89707, a magnitude 7 star that is just at the limit of human vision from pristine skies. With binoculars or a telescope, amateur astronomers will be able to see the star blink out for a tiny fraction of a second as the asteroid passes directly in front of it over a narrow corridor that cuts through the United States.

Unfortunately Florida is left out of this one, but even without the occultation observation I was able to show the asteroid last night during my live stream.

Thanks Astro!

And yes, many factors can effect an asteroids path. The Earth and Moon being the biggest 2 factors in it's approach. Is the math NASA does 100% accurate in its projected path? No, which is why they give a little percentage of impact at the end of their statements about asteroid path projections.

9102014
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 79439110


The gravity of the Earth and Moon is already factored into the calculations. That's not the issue. The issue are very minute perturbations to the orbit that occur over decades of time. The 2029 impact is already ruled out. There is a very slim possibility of impact in 2068. Phenomenal orbit places the asteroid over an astronomical unit away from the earth at the time of impact but the orbit is very uncertain that far out. The uncertainty is driven by the limits of our observational data on the asteroid and also by the limits of our modeling of very small long-term effects like the Yarkovski effect.

The hill sphere on an asteroid that size is quite small. Anything orbiting it would be much closer to it than the miss distance to Earth.
