Apophis Countdown Widget
The Apophis Countdown Widget is a fun little tool that keeps track of asteroid 99942 Apophis, which has a very tiny chance of hitting us on April 13, 2036—just 0.018%. That's pretty low, but it's always good to be aware!
What Does It Do?
This widget counts down to the big date and when you click on it, it takes you straight to NASA's page about Apophis. So if you're curious about this asteroid and want to learn more, it’s just one click away!
Fun Fact!
The countdown code for this widget was inspired by Steve Lammert's NHL countdown. Pretty cool, right? If you want to move it around your screen, just hold down the Ctrl key while dragging it where you want.
