This odd-shaped and sinister-looking 900-foot-long asteroid which some scientists say will probably hit the earth (by 2036) while others say don't worry about it ain't gonna happen, is named 99942 Apophis. It looks like a malicious ghost.Apophis is the Greek form of the name for the evil old Egyptian god Apep, represented in ancient art as a huge snake. It isn't by chance that the serpent's image is also the pictogram for evil throughout C.G. Jung's Red Book. The identification of snakes with evil and with frightening intentions is universal.
In this picture the god Autun wards off the evil Apep. This whole business with this spooky looking little evil astorrhoid is creeping me out.

That reminds me of a moral principle: fight or compete not
against other people but against harmful things in our
universe like hunger, disease, disaster, and unknowing (Fight
the unknowing instead of people.).
The asteroid, being a potential disaster, is one thing our focus ought to be on.
The whole morality is summarized at my old site with a new

The pic reminds me of those giant brain guys from Dune.
