Armageddon Armageddon, a pin-like asteroid will strike Los Angeles and the shockwave may extend as far as San Diego. The date is unknown.

Apophis 99942 A99942 will likely hit the Pacific Ocean next to California. If it goes into an triangular gravity zone, it will miss and will come back in 2037. Then, it will go over China, Russian, The Pacific Ocean, The Southern States, Carribean Islands and Sea, Alantic Ocean, then hit the islands near Africa.

1950 DA 1950 DA will mostly hit Earth in March 16, 2880. However, over the intervening time, its rotation will cause its orbit to change (by the Yarkovsky effect). Available radar and optical data suggest two possible pole directions; one trajectory misses the Earth by tens of millions of kilometers, while the other has an impact probability of 1 in 300.

More asteroid news will come soon.

Armageddon Armageddon, a pin-like asteroid will strike Los Angeles and the shockwave may extend as far as San Diego. The date is unknown.

Can you provide a reliable source about your Armageddon claim?

Apophis 99942 A99942 will likely hit the Pacific Ocean next to California. If it goes into an triangular gravity zone, it will miss and will come back in 2036. Then, it will go over China, Russian, The Pacific Ocean, The Southern States, Carribean Islands and Sea, Alantic Ocean, then hit the islands near Africa.

Apophis will not hit the Earth.

"As of April 16, 2008, the impact probability for April 13, 2036, is calculated as 1 in 45,000.[6] An additional impact date in 2037 was also identified; the impact probability for that encounter was calculated as 1 in 12.3 million."

And here's NASA's saying it won't:

The Apophis simulation is in Universe Sandbox.

And what about the 1950 DA. it hits the earth in 2880. has an impact probability of 1 in 300.

Possabilities:

1) In 2880, the human civilization will be dead, because of a nuclear war or something else...
2) In 2880, if we should survive a nuclear war, we would have so weak technology and everything that we wouldn't be able to stop 1950 DA, oh nose!
3) In 2880, The Human Civilization will be so Strong that we can use our Might and Power to Stop the Evil 1950 DA! While Spelling Certain Words with Capital Letters! Err...
4) In 2880, 1950 DA misses.
5) In 2880, 1950 DA misses.
...
304) In 2880, 1950 DA misses.

By the time 2880 rolls around we will have some idea of how to stop or prevent it from hitting the Earth.

That's if we survive everything else.

Let me change that for you:

1)In 2880, We've got to stop 1950 DA!
2)In 2880, 1950 DA misses
3)In 2880, 1950 DA misses
...
300)In 2880, 1950 DA misses.

Btw, I like what you said.
