While you're here reading our posts, a huge asteroid Apophis, with a crazy speed, rushing toward the Earth! You may ask, "So what can I do, and we will reply in turn that, looking at the screen, you are entitled to at least familiarize yourself with cosmic bully who can bring our planet a lot of trouble, as a global catastrophe not far away.
Apophis, asteroid about 300 meters to reach the closest distance to Earth in 2029. It flies at a distance of 32 thousand kilometers from Earth, which is 1 / 10 the distance to the Moon. Gravity corridor, which is expected, he is taken between two celestial bodies will be equal to approximately one kilometer. This means that to reject it, if only slightly, from its current orbit, his approach can not promise us any good. In this situation, he will be back in 2036 and will fall on our heads, or to be precise, the Central Americans, according to calculations of astrophysicists.
If you fall asteroid Apophis cause a tsunami up to hundreds of meters high, which will lay all the coastal regions of our planet, it activates almost all the volcanoes that are spewing millions of tons of ash into the atmosphere for many years, that would lead to "nuclear winter" and the gradual cooling of the planet. On the accompanying details should not talk too much, because most of us, and so did not see it.
What do you do? Shoot down the missiles it is problematic, and change the trajectory isskusstvennym method may, but is worth the huge investments, which are carried out today is unrealistic: people are employed by political and religious squabbles, wars, financial fraud and the like, flashed a message that the Lavochkin NPO has undertaken to implement the project alone to build a probe to study Apophis … wish them luck, but hurry, because 2012 just around the corner and after a series of expected catastrophe, perhaps neither the money nor the people who are ready to solve this problem, can not stay.
