After 10 years in the ground can cut a large asteroid
The excitement at the end of the world has not yet subsided, as the world threatened by a new attack, and not just one. After ten years of our planet at a dangerous distance closer asteroid Apophis-weighing more than 99,942 million tons. But if we are still lucky, then you have to wait for the ice age, which come in 18 thousand years.
According to the professor of the Russian State Hydrometeorological University Valery Malinin to Earth approaching asteroid collision which will be equivalent to thousands of atomic bomb explosion.

The acid test for earthlings heralds director Sternberg Astronomical Institute of the Anatoly Cherepashchuk. "The asteroid Apophis in 2029 is to approach the Earth, according to calculations, a distance of about 40 thousand kilometers. At this distance is about a lot of stationary satellites. It is very close to the Earth, and if it still taste disturbance - additional, from the same Jupiter, he may even get to Earth. There is a plan to send in a small ship, with beacon. We now have a powerful, able to work, so do not try to scare people, "- said Mr. Cherepashchuk.
"There is no danger of a collision not" - objected astronomer and a leading researcher at the Institute of Astronomy of the Russian Academy of Sciences Dmitry vibe. "After the rapprochement in 2029 its orbit are excited. There is a trajectory that in 2036 with a very small probability will lead to really hit the Earth, "- he said.
All these reports have resulted in changes in consumer sentiment. "Total cost of Russians on the" end of the world "can be estimated as 30 billion rubles." - Said in a statement on the website audit and consulting company FBK.
