Will a Giant Meteorite Hit Earth on November 13? Here's What We Know A giant meteorite, 99942 Apophis, is set to pass close to Earth on November 13. While it's not expected to collide, NASA warns of potential astroquakes caused by its proximity. Meteorite By Vineela Sekhar 12 Nov 2024 A massive meteorite has raised alarms at NASA, which fears that if this object, the size of a large rock, were to impact Earth, it could cause widespread destruction. Meteorites are remnants of planets that break apart during the formation of stars and planets orbiting the Sun. Often, these fragments come close to Earth, with some burning up in the atmosphere and others colliding with our planet. Recently, astronomers have issued a warning about a massive asteroid that is set to pass very close to Earth. This asteroid, named 99942 Apophis, also referred to as the "God of Chaos," is the size of the Empire State Building—approximately 450 meters by 170 meters. Scientists have warned that if it were to collide with Earth, the resulting explosion would be as powerful as 100 atomic bombs. NASA has been monitoring the asteroid since its discovery in 2004 due to concerns it poses a potential threat. On November 13, Apophis will pass within 19,000 miles of Earth, influenced by our planet’s gravitational pull. According to the Planetary Society, the impact of such an asteroid could create an explosion comparable to hundreds of nuclear bombs. Despite the concern, NASA’s Near-Earth Object Studies Center has assured that Apophis is not likely to collide with Earth in the next 100 years. However, researchers, led by asteroid scientist Ronald-Louis Ballouz, warn that passing through Earth’s gravitational field could trigger astroquakes, causing severe vibrations on our planet’s surface.

I'm not a girl and I don't have a pearl earring
BUT I may be worth plugging
I'm not worth robbing as everything of value is online
My words, but you may think they are worthless, just like me
but to somebody, they may want to come bathe with me
or let me dictate to them Tears for a Butcher my sequel....
Let my Tears be my Words
Let There Be Light ©

Let my tears be my words
Let the candle light be my eyes
Let the flowers in bloom be my lips
Let their scent be my blood
Let the wind be my breath
Let clouds be my mood
Let children’s laughter be my hope
Let widows’ sighs be my conscience
Let a stranger’s prayers be my delight
Let the bees be my wisdom
Let the trees be my strength
Let my patience reach to the stars
Let me be always remembered in your prayers
