Predicted and scheduled events
April
- April 13 – The asteroid 99942 Apophis (previously better known by its provisional designation 2004 MN4) will pass within 30,000 km (18,600 mi) of the Earth, very briefly appearing as bright as 3rd magnitude. A possibility exists that Apophis could go through a 400 m wide "keyhole" on this pass which would put it on a collision course with the Earth in 2036.[1]
December
- December 20 – The December 2029 lunar eclipse, the second of two Metonic twin eclipses, will occur. The first of the twin eclipse pair was the December 2010 lunar eclipse, occurring on December 20–21, 2010. The twin eclipses are separated by 19 years.
Date Unknown
- Raymond Kurzweil predicts machine intelligence will be capable of passing the Turing test by this year.[2]
- The digital time capsule 'A Message From Earth' reaches its destination on the planet Gliese 581 c.
- Intel predicts the performance of supercomputers to reach zettaflops scale.[3]
- NASA's New Horizons spacecraft is scheduled to leave the solar system.
