Possible Asteroid Collision with The Earth on April Friday 13th, 2036

99942 Apophis is an asteroid with an orbit slightly offset to that of the Earth. It was discovered by Roy Tucker, David Tholen, and Fabrizio Bernardi on June 19, 2004. The most closely estimated length based on spectroscopic observations at NASA’s Infrared Telescope Facility in Hawaii by Binzel, Rivkin, Bus, and Tokunaga in 2005 indicate it is about 350 meters long.
After the Minor Planet Center confirmed the June discovery of Apophis, an April 13, 2029 close approach was flagged by the NASA’s automatic Sentry system. On that date, the Asteroid will be visible to the naked eye from rural and some darker suburban areas, and visible with binoculars from most locations. This close approach will be visible from some regions of Europe, Africa and western Asia.
In 2004, it was first thought that the asteroid would hit us in the first flyby in 2029, and the chances of impact were estimated in 1/37. Additional observations through 2006 resulted in Apophis’ chances of collision being lowered on August 6, 2006 to 1 in 45,000. Note that it is actually the closest probability of an asteroid collision with the Earth. It is currently estimated that in April 13th, 2029 the approach of the asteroid will change because of its closeness to the gravitational pull of the Earth, and after this happens it will be determined if the asteroid will or will not collide with the Earth 7 years later.
Right now the probability of Apophis passing through Earth’s orbit is 1 in 48,000. Many would think this as very unlikely, but consider that the chances of someone dying in an airplane crash are 1 in 354,319.
But don’t give up hope yet, in the early 2010’s the asteroid will be close enough to us that optical and radar observations can be made accurately enough to make a better estimate of its orbit and probability of collision.
NASA estimates the energy from this particular asteroid to be 880 megatons, which are equivalent to if 65,000 nuclear bombs were dropped on us. Although its size is not really big, its orbital speed is about 30,278 kilometers per second, which would cause massive damage to our planet. The damage it would cause to Earth depends completely on where it would hit. If it hits on the water, it would cause a massive tidal wave, but the water would absorb most of the energy. Speculations that a period of extended cold weather brought on by dust and particles shrouding the Earth and blocking the Sun by the hit of the asteroid are very unlikely. Deflection missions are still being developed just in case the asteroid happens to cross orbit with Earth.

Alien Structures on the Moon

Does the NASA really tell us what’s really going on up there? In 1994, the US Navy sent a satellite called Clementine to the moon to take images from it for two months. During that time, the satellite took 1.8 million images. Out of those images, 170,000 images were made available to the public. The rest were classified. Why classify moon craters?
Within the 170,000 images available, there are many notoriously censored image of what appears to be incredibly massive artificial structures, structures miles in width and length. The amazing size of the structures eliminates the possibility they were man-made; the number of trips by rockets carrying the materials would be outrageously large. This brings us another question, why did they censure parts of the moon that are supposed to be just craters, or are they?
This is a big discovery in history, and one of the biggest lies to the public. Who knows for how much this has been going on? For what we know, this alien moon base could have been built possibly thousands of years ago.
The images of the moon you will be accessing are directly from a navy.mil official image archive (if still in doubt visit the origin site: http://www.cmf.nrl.navy.mil/ to prove its authenticity). Also these images have been censored, so you will see the images with the enormous structures, but they have clearly been smudged photographically to hide them. You can save the image to open them in a program for zooming in and closer inspection if desired.
This image shows what appear to be two very tall tower structures that have been censored and smudged. Based on the size and shape of the smudges, these alien structures are over a mile high.[click here]

This image shows another absolutely massive alien structure that has been censored and “smudged”.[click here]

Again, this structure has been censored and smudged, but in this image parts of the structure can be seen poking out of the blur… especially on the right side of the absolutely massive structure.
