Once upon a time on Earth, A Science Fiction Story about Egyptian myth, "Apophis"

---

In the Egyptian myth, "Apophis" is a name of the devil-a demon spirit that causes destruction, wants to bring eternal darkness to the world. More recently, astronomers have named "Apophis" on an asteroid from space that is now racing toward Earth. "

This asteroid was previously known as "2004MN4," measuring about 390 meters discovered by scientists in June 2004. Experts say that NEO objects larger than 1 kilometer, will hit Earth every few thousand years. NEO which is more than 6 km, will destroy Earth's life every few million years. While we are facing this time is a large asteroid pending.

From the results of the object's orbital calculations, NASA scientists found that the danger level of this asteroid threat is highest, in knowing 2029 the "Apophis" asteroid will pass Earth, however, it will return to Earth again in 2036, and is likely to break through the atmosphere and collide with Earth!

"Apophis" is now ranked fourth in the Torino scale. Rank 10 on the scale of Torino so the highest benchmark over the risk of celestial bodies that hit the Earth and is regarded as the end of the world. The level of danger "Apophis" is the highest among other asteroids ever found so far. Apophis is placed at number 4 of the Torino 10 scale. It is the largest asteroid that threatens the Earth throughout human history with the possibility of a 1:37 collision.

When Apophis passes on April 13, 2029, Earth's gravity will change its orbit, but, by 2036 it will return to visit and hit Earth. From the calculation data of scientists show, when "Apophis" approached the Earth, its speed is about 5.9 kilometers per second. If hit the earth, will produce energy equivalent to 110,000 bomb blast ato in Hiroshima. If it strikes in the ocean, it will cause a deadly deadly tsunami, much more powerful than the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami.

NASA and a number of space scientists have prepared anticipatory measures to avoid the possibility of colliding with each other, no matter how small the possibility. One of the scenarios of saving the earth is to send a plane to the asteroid. The plane was designed to give the effect of gravity, which is able to steer the asteroid away from the earth, for millions of light years.

Another option, just like the story in the movie "Armageddon." A satellite was prepared to be crashed into the asteroid. If "Apophis" falls in the Pacific Ocean, it will trigger a giant wave as high as 200 meters, and the dust that scattered due to its shock wave will envelop the ¼ region on Earth. If this happens, then the plants, animals and people in this area will die and die from cold and crumbling food chains. Meanwhile, all living things that exist on Earth are also difficult to get away from this catastrophic disaster. It can be said, "Apophis" is a fatal enemy for Earth.
