‘n Moerawiese klip is oppad!

Nou julle weet al ek is heeldag besig om my CAP op te gebruik. Wonder julle nog waar?

OK hier is die sak patats: NASA

Ek lees oor hierdie m@erse klip wat oppad is aarde toe. Sy naam: 99942 Apophis.

Ek volg elke dag die nuus op oor hierdie klip, ek is op my eie klip volg mission

Apophis 99942 (Apophis was ‘n “evil” Egiptiese god)

Hier is so bietjie inligting oor die Egiptiese klip:

Latest news on the ‘99942 Apophis’ Asteroid that was predicted to be on a near collision or ’swipe’ course with earth is back on track. The 99942 Apophis’s asteroid’s threat has not disappeared but seems to have newly emerged in the most recent NASA reports in this year – even a competition was held to design an unmanned space probe to ’shadow’ 99942 Apophis in order to figure out just what Apophis might do or is ‘thinking’ to do.

99942 Apophis, having been relegated to a 0 in 10 on the Torino scale threat with a 1 in 45,000 chance of impact on earth, is still held to be the same:

On April 16, 2008, NASA News Release 08-103 reaffirmed that its estimation of a 1 in 45,000 chance of impact in 2036 remains valid.

As part of an effort to develop viable deflection strategies, the B612 Foundation made estimates of Apophis path if a 2036 Earth impact were to occur.

The impact result is a narrow corridor called the ‘path of risk’ which would be a few miles wide. Countries estimated to be in the direct path:

1. southern Russia,
2. across the north Pacific Ocean (relatively close to the coastlines of the California and Mexico), then
3. right between Nicaragua and Costa Rica,
4. crossing northern Colombia and
5. Venezuela and over the Caribbean islands of Trinidad and Tobago,
6. over the Atlantic Ocean to the west coast of Africa.

Possible Effects of Impact

NASA initially estimated the energy that Apophis would have released if it struck Earth as the equivalent of 1480 megatons of TNT but later refined this to 880 megatons. The impacts which created the Barringer Crater of the Tunguska event are estimated to be in the 10-20 megaton range and the 1883 eruption of Krakatoa was the equivalent of roughly 200 megatons.

The exact effects of any impact of an asteroid varies according to the asteroid’s composition, and its the location and angle of impact. Any impact is aid to be extremely detrimental to an area of thousands of square kilometres, but information says that any impact would probably not cause long-lasting global effects, such as the initiation of an impact winter as many fear.

1. Asteroid Size: 270 meters to 350 meters wide
2. Asteroid Weight: 200 billion tonnes
3. Asteroid Speed: 50,000 KM per hour
4. What you will see: in its fly-by – heated up and glowing by atmospheric particles of soil and light, Apophis’ size will appear to be approximately ten to twelve times larger than the moon.
5. Expected fly-by distance from earth in 2029: 32,500 KM
6. Expected Energy Release if impact occurs in 2036: 65,000 Hiroshima bombs

Natuurlik spring almal nou regop en sê: Jaaa! ek het julle mos gesê die einde van die wêreld is op pad!

Stront man…. Ek wiks daai klip met ‘n kettie hier van Suid Afrika af dat hy op mars land!!

Moenie bang wees nie, Wipneus is hier, ek hou daai klip dop!
