is there a huge rock coming to crash planet earth?

Answer 1

yeah really big !
There’s a big rock heading for us, traveling at ... Apophis is set to buzz the earth by coming within 10000 miles of us when it ...damn it ......

Answer 2

I just love it... If you want to know the answer to something this important, ask the man in the street. One answer even says that the Moon will crash into the Earth when it is moving away from the Earth every year a little bit. Fantastic.

Many people with highly sophisticated optical and radio equipment are searching the universe for asteroids and other objects of sufficient magnitude to cause problems if they were to strike the Earth. Once detected those objects are tracked to establish their orbital paths and then plots are rendered to determine probablilites for impact on the surface of the Earth. Some have come close recently, and a few others will come close in ten to twenty years, but so far, none of any significant size have been identified as having a positive collision course with Earth. Were one to be identified, the question is what will we do about that? How would you change the course of a large rock hurtling through space? Some people suggest the launch of an anti-asteroid missle containing a huge bomb of some type. The problem with that is the object might be as large as Lake Michigan.
certainly no bomb will render an object that size harmless.

So the objective would be to move the object far enough off course so that it missed Earth by a wide margin and never circled back to clobber us next time around. That would take a far different solution involving placement of huge rocket engines on the surface of the asteroid and lighting them off at some precise calculated moment in an effort to create change in the asteroid trajectory...Those would be some big fancy rockets my friend.

Answer 3

There is a asteroid coming by Earth April 13, 2029 named mn4 Aphosis. The asteroid will come in between the Moon and the Earth. However there is no danger of impact if that is what you want to know. There is a less then 1% chance that it would. If the asteroid however go's through a gravitional keyhole (a area in space that could alter the asteroid's orbit) it could impact a few years later.

Answer 4

Some scientists believe that there is a merteroid in space that could end up crashing the Earth in the year 2027

Answer 5

I think I learned that our moon is gradually getting closer to us and will eventually be incorporated into earth (w/ serious destruction) but thats not for a million (tens of/hundreds of?) years. I also heard something about a meteorite or an astroid (more or less space rocks) that has(d?) a chance of coming close to earth w/ an even smaller chance of hitting.

Answer 6

In 2012 an asteroid named 433 Eros is going to make a close approach to Earth, but it will not hit us.

Answer 7

If there was one on it's way, I would like to live a normal life till then, there's no stopping a big rock falling from the sky...

Answer 8

i hope!!!!!!! oh, im sorry, i thought that said huge cock.
no there is no huge rock coming to crash here

Answer 9

i heard something on the radio a few weeks ago about that,in about another 50 odd years i think can't really remember the details

Answer 10

That's what killed the dinosaurs...It will happen again,maybe not in your life time,maybe in your grandchild's life time....Like every 10 thousand plus years.
