Apophis is the name of the ancient Egyptian demon of horror, so was the name of the giant asteroid killer. The terrestrial sky already reflects this flaming mountain rushing through space. According to scientific calculations, there is a possibility that the fire giant can destroy all life on planet Earth. The asteroid is already very close. Why do the authorities hide this from the majority of the population and do nothing? Is there anything else you can do before the deadly collision?
The last time it flew in early January 2012 near the orbit of our planet. The giant space rock has a mass of a million tons, a diameter of 320 meters, and contains the energy of about 65 thousand nuclear bombs. The formidable Apophis then swept between the Moon and the Earth. However, on the next turns of its flight trajectory, the fiery killer will almost closely sweep near us in 2029, and in 2036 it will be as close as possible to the blue planet at 38,000 km.
Being attracted by gravitational forces, an approaching flaming giant asteroid, even if it does not collide with our planet, will have a powerful effect on the atmosphere and cause natural anomalies on Earth. A cosmic stone block under the influence of Earth's gravity can get so close that it even slightly displaces the Earth from its usual orbit around the Sun. Due to the minimal distance from the star, the temperature regime on our planet will begin to drop sharply, killing all living flora and fauna. Anomalous volcanic eruptions will occur, accompanied by powerful earthquakes and giant tsunamis. Natural disasters, accompanied by a climatic apocalypse with a sharp drop in temperature, will create a new landscape for our changed planet.
Recently, cataclysms have been occurring where they should not be a priori. Signs of the approaching Armageddon can already be traced more and more obvious today: unprecedented frosts and floods in Europe, more frequent earthquakes in Japan, incredible earthquakes in Altai in 2003 and 2013, unprecedented tsunamis in the usually peaceful Thailand, African heat with subsequent forest fires in Central Russia, hurricanes and tornadoes on the American continent, activation of previously dormant ancient volcanoes.
For example, at the beginning of September 2012, in the area of the Sunda Strait between Java and Sumatra, the volcano of Anak-Krakatau Island became active. The explosion of this giant caused by the eruption literally shook our planet; it was 10,000 times more powerful than the impact of atomic bombs on Japanese Hiroshima. The accompanying roar was heard within a radius of 4 thousand kilometers. The atmospheric shock waves caused by this explosion circled the planet 7 times, and the giant tsunami that followed the eruption wiped out 300 settlements from the face of the Earth. Experts again warn about the impending next outburst of a raging active volcano.
When the world becomes more unjustified cruelty, fear, anxiety, more consumerism, there is a struggle of nature on a universal scale with the help of the apocalypse to put an end to the growing evil, to be reborn and give life to a new civilization cleansed of the filth. There are identical descriptions of the coming end of the world in almost all religions of the world.
NASA astronomers monitoring the behavior of a space body have long been determined, calculated and published the trajectory of the object. For a hidden reason, they do not publish the new information received. The research center determined the risk of an asteroid hitting the Earth, and calculated three dates for a possible "catastrophe" - in 2029, in 2036 or in 2068. However, scientists publicly assure everyone that there is no threat to the existence of life for earthlings.
Previously, Apophis was listed in the astronomical community under the numbers 2004 NM4 and 99942. Object 2004 NM4 was discovered back in 2004. A year later, because of the threat lurking in it, the asteroid was named Apophis. A running rock can actually change its trajectory under the influence of an effect discovered by the Russian scientist Ivan Yarkovsky. The Sun itself creates a special effect in cases of rotation of cosmic bodies. At first, the sun's rays heat up the surface of the asteroid, and after hiding in the shadows, it quickly cools down. Photons are emitted during this temperature drop. As a result, the heated side becomes larger and the cold side decreases. Thus, a small active reactive force constantly arises, which is quite capable of moving the asteroid out of its path. This means that the trajectory of Apophis becomes non-deterministic,which can lead to erroneous astronomical calculations.

A terrible blow can overtake the Earth. Scientists have modeled this situation. At the moment of the explosion, a crater with a diameter of about 6 km is formed. Significant damage from the fall will be at a distance of up to 10 km, less - within a radius of 50 km. If the space block falls into a densely populated area, there will be many victims. The energy of the explosion force in TNT equivalent is estimated by scientists at 1800 megatons.
Norwegian scientists from the Los Alamos Laboratory managed to calculate the consequences of falling into the ocean of a block similar in size to Apophis. They found that the impact would raise a wave hundreds of meters high. Having run 30 km from the epicenter, the tsunami waves will subside to 60 meters, and after 1000 km their height will become 10 meters. Researchers believe that the fall of the boulder will cause violent hurricanes. The explosion will throw billions of tons of ocean water into the atmosphere at a speed of 300 m / s to an altitude of about 20 km, and in the transverse direction such a "fountain" will sweep away everything in its path.
In recent years, scientists have noted an important fact - NASA has stopped broadcasting panoramic images from space orbits from high-resolution cameras fixed at the stations. This can really mean that terrible information about the impending global imminent catastrophe is carefully hidden from ordinary earthlings.
