• The Pale Blue Dot is a photograph of planet Earth taken in 1990 by the Voyager 1 space craft from a record distance of about 6 billion kilometers from Earth. In the photograph, Earth is shown as a tiny dot against the vastness of space. The Voyager 1 spacecraft, which had completed its primary mission and was leaving the solar system, was commanded by NASA to turn its camera around and to take a photograph of Earth across a great expanse of space, by the request of Carl Sagan.

  • The  asteroid, called 1999 RQ36, has a 1-in-1,000 chance of actually hitting  the Earth at some point before the year 2200, but is most likely to hit  us on 24th September 2182. It was first discovered in 1999 and  is more than 1,800 feet across. If an asteroid of this size hit the  Earth it would cause widespread devastation and possible mass  extinction. And scientists say that any attempt to try and  divert the asteroid will have to take place more than 100 years before  it is due to hit to have any chance of success.
