The Official Asteroid Apophis Site
Asteroid Apophis is a possible Earth bound asteroid. Known as 99942 Apophis is a near-Earth asteroid that had caused concern in December 2004 because initial observations indicated a small probability (up to 2.7%) that it would strike the Earth in 2029. Recent news indicate that it could be on a collision course afterall.

Apophis Asteroid and Russia

How is it that the Russians are taking the lead to preventing Asteroid Apophis? Could it be that the Russians know more than the NASA scientists that say it won’t impact the Earth? There are also rumors that there could be a possible impact by 2032. We will have more to say about that. The most important year will be in 2013 when Asteroid Apophis will be nearby and we can get a better look at it and then calculate exactly where it could go in terms of the Earth being in it’s future path.
