'Zero chance' infamous Apophis collides with another asteroid, redirects to Earth
When it was first discovered in 2004, Apophis was identified as one of the most dangerous asteroids in that there was a risk that it could impact Earth. But that impact assessment changed over the years after astronomers tracked Apophis, also known as asteroid 99942, and its orbit became better determined, and it became clear that it was on course to miss our planet.

17/ Ich habe viele, viele Reden von Psychologinnen (meistens Frauen) gehört (beim #Klimamontag und bei #KlimaAfterWork). Sie haben die Phasen der Bewusstwerdung der Klimakrise beschrieben, 1. denial, 2. Angst, Wut, Ohnmacht, 3. Akzeptanz, 4. Neufindung.
Mir scheint es aber so zu sein, dass wir kollektiv drüber sind. Wir haben uns alle damit abgefunden. Wir machen das, was Olaf Scholz vorgeschlagen hat: Wir machen uns keine Sorgen.
Nur so ein paar Autisten machen sich Sorgen. Für die anderen mit. Und die Wissenschaftler*innen natürlich. Aber sie haben keine Neuigkeiten. Dass alles schlimm ist und schlimmer wird, ist ja klar. Steht im IPCC-Bericht. Wie Raphael Thelen gesagt hat: Wer von der Klimakatastrophe wissen will, der weiß es jetzt. Das ist eingepreist. Im Flug nach Oslo. Über den Frauentag.
