But science does win here - the asteroid's trajectory around the Sun means that it can't come any closer than 3.2 Earth radii according to NASA. [link to neo.jpl.nasa.gov] |

| Meggarea User ID: 1585244 11/23/2012 05:28 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I'm going to try one more time. On February 16th, it will be 3.0E-4 AU. This is .00003 AU, or 2,789 miles. Everyone is obsessed about the 15th, but it's the 16th we have to worry about. Quoting: Meggarea You need to go back to math class. 3.0E-4 AU is .0003 AU NOT .00003. You move the decimal place four spots, you don't add 4 zeros. [link to www.unit-conversion.info] .0003 AU = 27886.7 Miles You need to calm down, since we're telling each other what to do. Pardon me for not being an expert in astronomical distances, or the formula they use to determine such. Perhaps my math skills do need some work, but your people skills seem to be lacking, so I guess that makes us even. |

The analysis done by NASA in 2004 says that it will pass close to Earth on April 13, 2029. Russian scientists have taken the analysis one step further. They say, there is a possibility of Apophis traveling through a gravitational keyhole, which would affect it's orbit enough to put it on a collision course with Earth on April 13, 2036. |

You're crazy. A 50m impactor if it disentigrated 5-10km over the surface would create enough heat radiation to burn you alive in the open at 100 miles. The shockwaves would destroy most structures out to 50 miles. Now, if it impacted the surface, it would create a crater half a mile wide and similar shock wave and throw up enough dust to completely blanket a thousand sq miles with an inch of soot. This would wipe out a million acres of crops. If it impacted the ocean, which is most likely, it would create a 20 ft tsunami. Nothing we haven't seen before recently. Markets would crash worldwide, there would be chaos in the effected areas. Obviously not the end of the world, but the end of our business as usual happy go lucky approach to life. Honestly there isn't much we can do about it. Our ballistic missiles aren't designed to hit a small fast moving target this size and they would only be effective maybe an hour before impact. Also, its dangerous to launch nuclear missiles. I would say, this isn't a big deal because its not an end of the world type event. You are more likely to be killed waiting for a bus or driving to work. Also the object is coming at us from behind our orbital path so its velocity will be significantly lessened, most of it will burn up in the atmosphere. I'm actually not that worried about it. There is maybe a 10% chance this thing hits earth, and maybe a 1% chance it kills people. In fact, more people could die in a panic that it might hit earth than if it actually hit earth. Tunguska killed people and wiped out 1500 sq miles of land, the next day life went on as usual around the world. |

Note that the definitions of Aten, Apollo and Amor objects differ between different groups. The definitions used here are that: Atens have semimajor axes less than 1.0 AU; Apollos have perihelion distances less than 1.0 AU and semimajor axes greater than 1.0 AU; and Amors have perihelion distances between 1.0 and 1.3 AU. Centaur objects have perihelia beyond the orbit of Jupiter and semimajor axes inside the orbit of Neptune. Transneptunian objects have orbits with semimajor axes beyond the orbit of Neptune--some of these objects, generally assumed to be in librations with Neptune, have perihelion distances inside the orbit of Neptune. At the present time, these lists contain entries for the following numbers of objects: 9348 close approach 1615 distant objects 424 other unusual objects |

My first mistake was pressing the exponential key instead of the exponent. Thus the error in my first post. Either way, I think we will be able to see this one coming and we can alway hope for the GLP effect! |

The Asteroid is quite small ( approximately 55 Meters )and will vaporize if it hits our Atmosphere. NASA lists this as a Near Earth Object at 0.09 Lunar distance. 0.09 X 240,000 Miles = 21,600 Miles. This is not a Close Encounter of the 3rd Kind. |

| Peter number 1 User ID: 29088083 12/04/2012 04:59 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Come on man, I've been to multiple websites and they are all saying the same thing, there is almost 100 percent certainty that this thing will Miss us. We won't even be able to see it without a telescope, it's close but I've seen closer last year. It is big though and if it were to hit it still wouldn't be as strong as the Tunguska event. Just FYI, I hate to see people scared for no reason. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 957683 2012DA14 is coming at the same level as this year. And that is 27000 km up. It is 8ooo km under the satellits.They are at 35000 km up. It will come at a speed of 7,2 km per sec. No one know the fact to 100%. The Spanish found it this year 5-7 days after it passed the earth. The size is between 40 - 100 m. Nobody really know. Bur the earth could have drag it closer to eart. If it would be an impact it will come at a speed of 12,5 km per sec. Nobody knows to 100%. IT IS coming for sure. |
