Apophis is about 1,100 feet (340 meters) in width. It's expected to safely pass close to Earth – within 19,794 miles (31,860 kilometers) from our planet's surface – on April 13, 2029. This will be the closest approach to Earth by an asteroid of this size that scientists have known about in advance. Some parts of the world like near the western hemisphere you will see it with the naked eye.

What damage could this asteroid cause?

The damage wrought by Apophis would be devastating, but only on a regional scale; it is not massive enough to cause the global extinction of human life

Happy Dracones Monday! Solar Eclipse!

Happy Dracones Monday! In honour of the solar eclipse I have drawn Apep, or Apophis, the serpent that lives in the dark waters underneath the world who is always trying to eat the sun off Ra's sun boat when he sails into the underworld at night! (Egyptian mythology). Hopefully Ra can fight him off and return the sun to us swiftly!

Meet Apophis! A Cult of the Lamb OC of mine that I have in a grip hold. Also featuring a friend's Oc, Mother Time. Who is actually his mom :p

He's not exactly a god, just a deity of horror and likes to spread fear. I love him a lot.

Erzsebet should've become Apophis

I've been enjoying Castlevania Nocturne, but ngl I feel like the show in general suffers from a case of wasted opportunity when it comes to adapting many, many elements of the games. At times it feels like the writers tend to ignore perfectly sufficient aspects of the source material to replace with their own thing, which is fine sometimes...

But with Erzsebet, there really was missed potential in making her more like her game counterpart. In Bloodlines, where she's known as Elizabeth Bartley, she turns into Medusa as the first phase of her boss fight, before fighting Jonathan/Eric as her regular self afterwards.

There is SOME room to interpret this as Bartley merely summoning Medusa rather than turning into her. However, in Easy mode, Bartley just dies once Medusa is defeated, suggesting they're the same person; Bartley isn't mentioned in the end credits while Medusa is, suggesting they're interchangeable with one another (because otherwise, why would this one-off boss have more precedent than the main villain who appears in the prologue???); And at the start of Bartley's level, the player is attacked by a floating Medusa head that shoots out red flames, just like the Medusa you actually fight, and just like Bartley herself.

So as far as I'm concerned, Bartley is Medusa. And that's kind of a big deal to me because Medusa is one of the most recurring and iconic bosses in the series, so to see her, or at least one incarnation of Medusa, receive deeper characterization and story relevance is pretty cool. Medusa is one of Dracula's OG generals, which is why it's a shame she's been completely absent from the show.

Here's the thing; If they wanted to give Bathory a second form, Medusa is right there. It'd even parallel how Olrox turns into a green reptile himself, too! And if the writers still want to make Bathory appropriate an Egyptian deity, as part of her colonizer symbolism that informs Olrox's hatred and rebellion, we've got a perfect fit for Medusa; Apophis!

Apophis is a serpent and a much more explicit enemy of the sun than Sekhmet is in myth; He's the sworn arch-nemesis of Ra and attempts to devour the sun every night, only to be defeated, time and time again. He's said to lurk in the Underworld, too! So this has parallels to Vampires' association with Hell, Apophis fulfills the function of Bathory's hatred of the sun and her plan to block it out... Hell, we even have the theme of an enemy of darkness that must be defeated in a neverending cycle, like Dracula, whom Bathory is taking the role of in Nocturne!

So instead of drinking Sekhmet's blood, have Erzsebet drink the blood of Apophis. This causes her to turn into a green, serpentine monster that also resembles Medusa, making her the show equivalent of Medusa, and a more faithful adaptation of Bartley than discount Lion-O. And since Medusa is consistently green throughout most of the games and in general media depictions, this could also cause Erzsebet's hair to turn green, the same color it was in the games! I think that'd make more sense than discarding what little we got of Bartley in the actual games to instead emulate Carmilla from Vampire Hunter D.

asteroid Aphophis (99942)

apep, the destroyer (asteroid 99942)

Apep, also referred to as Apepi, Apopis, Rerek, Apophis, etc., was the greatest foe of the sun god Ra. Apep is often depicted as a demon of chaos in the skin of a serpent. Which is contradictory to Egyptian belief because oftentimes snakes were symbols of divinity and royalty. However, Apep was threat to the world of the living and the realm of the gods as he often attacked Ra when he brought forth day light (this is how Egyptians rationalized solar eclipses - Apep swallowed the boat of Ra). By attempting to stop the day, he also attempted to stop time. Ironically, of all the people to help stop Apep, it was Set who rode with Ra in the mornings at the bow of the ship in order to stab Apep with his spear. IN MY OPINION Apophis in your chart can represent a) what is outside of your control, b) where there is evil/chaos in your life, and/or c) who tries to stop you or disrupt your peace.

i encourage you to look into the aspects of apophis along with the sign, degree, and house placement. for the more advanced astrologers, take a look at the persona chart of apophis!

No because I read tkc thinking they were set around the beginning of pjo. It made sense to me while reading. Just small things like Carter and Sadie fighting the Set Monster in Washington DC (Christmas, 2005) because Percy says in SoM Annabeth had gone there between the end of summer in 2005 and the start of summer in 2006.

A few months lately (which I translated to six but is probably less than that) Sadie and Carter travel the path of Ra on that river I can't remember the name on, Percy and Annabeth are travelling the sea of monsters. Sadie and Carter are retrieving Ra to save them from Apophis. Percy and Annabeth are looking for the golden fleece (and Grover) to save Thalia's tree and camp from Luke's (Kronos') forces.

Then, Sadie and Carter have the final battle. Ra vs Apophis. The Greeks also believe they are approaching their final battle because Thalia is about to turn 16. The Titans are at their peak on Mt Tam. Also in my head while reading there was a thing between the parallels of Ra the sun god either about to survive or lose and Apollo being at his weakest as he has lost contact of Artemis and Koios (is that the titan on Mt Tam??) might injure her to the point of no return.

It made sense in my head so I was shocked when I found out tkc was set around hoo time
