An asteroid is headed straight toward Earth. Initially, scientists thought it would miss us, but they've made some serious miscalculations. And now, it's headed right toward our giant blue marble. What happens next? Does this mean the end of humanity? Can we change the trajectory of the asteroid?
And why might this actually happen by the year 2029?

Humanity has already left the planet, now there are only 'people'... (I had to edit it)

Considering how the 2020s have been going, an asteroid hitting would probably make things slightly better.

We humans always think that we are smarter than the nature but we have missed the point nature is much powerful than us beyond imagination. A devastating truth is we always believe that we are the supreme power but the truth is that we aren’t the only one surviving in this universe

Answer: we die and it doesn't matter what year

I wonder how many really close calls we had before we developed the technology to discover and track those things.

Apophis can fix 70% of the worlds problems.

What if the ocean water was freshwater? I'd love to see this one.

I think 2024 will be a great year!

Apophis would cause a lot of damage and loss of life depending on where it hit but it is not large enough to be an extinction level event

Amazing job with this episode! I love watching your videos with such curiosity... but this one really was of interest because 2029 is not too far away....😦

Learning about the Asteroid that could hit Earth on April 13th 2029 I think is the most wondering thing that the scientists are trying to figure out right now but this guy who talks about everything about the solar system is just so true.😆🩵This Year Is Going To Be A Great Year For All Of Us.

2:29 bro really made me think that someone was calling me

[muhazahmed]

I hope this world ends soon. Hatred is everywhere.

[juslewissr]

I personally believe that some sort of major cataclysm will eventually take place that will ultimately have us living like the Flintstones -- minus the dinosaurs, of course -- long before we ever progress far enough to live like the Jetsons. Yeah, it's a corny analogy, but it provides a pretty good visual that should be simple for everyone to imagine.

Incredible analysis of what would happen if an asteroid hit Earth! The explanations of the different scenarios, from the kinetic impactor to the nuclear option, were presented in a clear and engaging manner. This video definitely got me thinking about our vulnerability to cosmic threats.

Ok; dude I really love your channel and everything I learn about here is mind blowing mostly. Your channel really helped me in high school, because I got in the science club🎉. But for the record what made you start this amazing YouTube channel 🤔.
And also you deserve way more subscribers 😁

[pratikdharanep.d.]

This is true we r living in the end times ryt now. So asteroid hits earth in 2025. Its true!😭
