Russian warning of an asteroid that will approach Earth dangerously

A Russian scientific source has warned that in the spring of 2029, the asteroid "Apophis" will approach the Earth very closely, and it will reach the orbits of fixed satellites around the Earth.

According to RT Arabia, a source at the Central Federal Institute for Science and Higher Technologies of the Russian Emergencies Ministry said that the diameter of this asteroid, which will carry a severe danger, is about 400 meters and weighs about 30 tons.

According to the Institute’s predictions, this approach will occur on April 13, 2029, and experts indicate that the energy released in the event of a possible collision of this asteroid with Earth will reach 1717 megatons, which is 30 times more than the energy released during the explosion of the most powerful thermonuclear bomb in the world.
