SECRETS OF THE SPACE INVADERS - WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT NEAR-EARTH OBJECTS,
BY DR JACQUELINE MITTON
Far from being empty, interplanetary space is inhabited by flying shards of rock, bus-sized boulders, comets the size of a city and countless asteroids up to several hundred miles across. Some of them stray uncomfortably close to Earth. Evidence gathered over the last few decades leaves no doubt that our planet is often the target of one of these unguided missiles. Most of them do no serious harm to humans. But why are they out there? What have we found out about them? And how seriously should we take the threat of a future devastating hit?
