Craig Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 http://news.discovery.com/space/asteroids-meteors-meteorites/apophis-definitely-will-not-hit-earth-in-2036-130110.htm Apophis Who? As the foreboding asteroid 99942 Apophis tumbled through interplanetary space, making its closest pass with Earth yesterday, astronomers pointed every available telescope at the space rock in the hope of learning more about the potentially hazardous asteroid. Using NASA’s Goldstone radar dish in the Mojave Desert, Calif., asteroid hunters have announced some really, really good news: Apophis will not — I repeat, will not — hit Earth in 2036. I'm sure there will be some conspiracy theorist somewhere who knows better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
