Apophis is coming in 2029.

NASA and all of the three lettered degree physicists can’t bring themselves to admit that it’ll hit - but it’s gonna hit near the San Diego/Tijuana area.

Apophis is coming in 2029

Friday, April 13, 2029, to be more precise!

"Scientists" say it will miss the earth; passing just inside the orbit of earth geosynchronous satellites. Keep in mind the closest approach is still almost 8 years away. I'm not too sure how they can be so certain of this trajectory given the number of orbit altering solar mass ejections, just to name one of several orbit altering factors.

The diagram below has Apophis coming even closer to the moon than to the earth. JPL's current small body projections show Apophis staying outside the moon's orbit. So who can possibly predict its actual trajectory almost 8 years from now? There is also the possibility of collisions with other debris before then, and even intentional changes to its orbit by one country for the purpose of taking out another.

How do you know it will hit at all, and exactly where it will hit?

Would really love to see the info/data. Genuinely. I did read about apophis and everyone making a big deal it wont hit us, thought it was a bit of a hysterical tone to it.

...it’s gonna hit near the San Diego/Tijuana area.

I haven’t seen that precise a prediction before - do you have a link?

Too bad we can’t believe JPL’s official “company line”.

No, Apophis has a 0% chance of hitting earth in the next 100 years
