APOPHIS THE ASTEROID

A huge asteroid is expected to fly by earth on Friday 13th April 2029. It will get as close as 19000 miles from earth. It is 340 meters long and last visited earth briefly on 19 June 2004. if this object ever collided with this planet it would be a doomsday scenario.
Future plans are to put craft on asteroids to mine their valuable metals such as gold, silver, zinc, copper. If this could be achieved on the asteroid belt, this would of course be so valuable. Hopefully, the appropriate technology to nudge asteroids away from collision with earth will have been tested.

It's like I'm watching the movie The Fifth Element again Crown. wave

Thanks for the information. I forgot to tell you I seldom watch TV news anymore.

To be so accurate to predict the trajectory of an asteroid and it's path near earth 6 years from now?

Hmmm....
The paths of comments, (and asteroids), can be calculated, many years in advance; (sometimes a hundred, or so, years, in advance). Hayley's Comet, for example....professor
Charillion......This asteroid has come close before, so they know it's movements.

When you say Hayley's comet. What about Bill Hayley and the Comets?

Yes. Recent news is that Russia is withdrawing its part of the space station and thus ending cooperation with USA etc. How that will work, no one knows yet.
How an asteroid could be taken off its course of travel has now been tried with the deliberate collision of a spacecraft smashing into a much smaller asteroid called DIMORPHOS. Whether it has been effective will soon be known.
