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.

Hey…Apop this!

I got to tell you, Asteroid Apophis is really getting laughed at by the media. There are asteroids hitting the earth every month and it gets little attention. It is not until the Russian scientists that say there is a good chance of impact in 2036 that the news spends a half day talking about it and then silence.

Asteroid Apophis could be the biggest news story since, well, ever. Just image that if it did come around in 2029 and was deemed a threat for 2036, we would only have a few short years to prepare to intercept it so it makes good sense that the Russians are trying to get a team together to actually prevent this global killer from even getting near us.
