Armageddon tomorrow: What if Asteroid hits Earth?

Russias space agency has been holding meetings about Apophis the asteroid due to pass close to Earth in 2029. If it is not diverted, a collision could potentially kill millions, scientists say. I know that NASA scientists have been very busy tracking the orbit of this particular asteroid very, very carefully, and I know that theyve now downgraded this risk considerably, said Patrick Fullick, founder and president of Science Connections foundation in London.

Could Earth be destroyed by asteroid in 2036 ?

The Asteroid Threat

The Russian Space Agency is preparing for a mission to intercept an asteroid that could hit planet Earth in 2036. The Russians are planning to invite the Americans and Chinese to participate in the mission once its finalized. So how would a mission like this work and will these space experts plan on watching some of those Hollywood films for inspiration before they blast off into space?

Scientists step-up to save the world. Russia's Space Agency is preparing to hold a closed meeting on an approaching Asteroid.But there's no need for immediate concern an encounter with Asteroid Apophis is predicted for April 2036. According to the head of the Russian Agency there could be a way to avoid a collision without having to destroy the asteroid. It was discovered in 2004 and the probability of an impact has changed several times since then. Last year the California-based Planetary Society awarded a 50 thousand dollars prize for a space probe that would allow precise tracking of the asteroid.
