Ich setze meine "Hoffnung" immer noch auf #99942Apophis

"Rund 218 Millionen Euro zur Abwehr von Gefahren aus dem Weltraum wie Asteroiden und Sonneneruptionen" Die Mission #RAMSES wird am 13. April 2029 LIVE dabei sein, wenn der #Asteroid #99942Apophis innerhalb des geostationären Orbit an der Erde vorbei fliegt.
"Apophis flyby in 2029 will be the first time a potentially hazardous asteroid has been visible to the naked eye" by @LiveScience - #Asteroid #99942Apophis will make a close pass by Earth on April 13, 2029. Earth will not be affected. But scientists are gearing up to observe how Earth's gravity changes the orbit of the asteroid, and possibly deforms its shape. There's so much to learn for #PlanetaryDefense / #PlanetaryDefence for the future. https://www.livescience.com/space/asteroids/apophis-flyby-in-2029-will-be-the-first-time-a-potentially-hazardous-asteroid-has-been-visible-to-the-naked-eye #astronomy #LowFlyingRocks
Apophis flyby in 2029 will be the first time a potentially hazardous asteroid has been visible to the naked eye

In 2029, asteroid Apophis will skim safely past Earth, where it will be visible to billions. For scientists, it's a once-in-a-millennium planetary experiment.

This is just a #teaser. And it's fuckin' terrifying.
Tried with an #asteroid with the same characteristics as #99942Apophis hitting my hometown #Lisboa. Didn't even tried with something like the #chicxulub one.
Have a go yourself. 👀
