star systems is likely to remain science fiction for a very long to come.The distances involved are so huge that even our fastest spacecraft would take thousands of years to reach even the nearest stars to our Sun.But a groundbreaking initiative using spacecraft powered not by rockets, but by lasers, could potentially take a fleet of spacecraft to our nearest star within one human lifetime.The craft could used to perform a fly-by of Proxima Centauri, sending back data about its potentially habitable planets.There’s just one catch: the spacecraft will be smaller than an iPhone.The project, called Breakthrough Starshot, will enable a swarm of wafter-thin craft carrying cameras, navigation, and communication equipment together with a tiny power supply and a large “sail” made of reflective material.The mini-starships would be propelled into orbit inside a traditional rocket booster, before being deployed and accelerated to up to 20 per cent of the speed of light using an ultra-powerful laser trained on their sails.At those speeds, they could potentially reach the Alpha Centauri system in about 20 years.Russian billionaire Yuri Milner, was one of the project’s early supporters of the Breakthrough concept is based on technology either already available or likely to be available in the near future,” he said in 2016. “But as with any moonshot, there are major hurdles to be solved.”The biggest challenge would be building a laser powerful enough for the job.

asteroid that is thought to be five times the size of Big Ben is speeding up towards Earth's orbit this week and will make a close-earth approach.The rock named 2015 DR215 was first sighted on February 18, 2015, and has an estimated diameter of 220m to 490m, according to NASA's Earth Close Approaches list.The latest tracking from the space agency claims that the asteroid will come within close proximity to Earth's orbit on Friday, March 11, although it is not deemed hazardous or expected to crash directly into the planet.If it were to enter the Earth's atmosphere however, it would leave a city-sized dent on our planet, even in its smallest possible size.However, luckily for us, the closest the massive space rock will pass by Earth is 4.2million miles away – which is not a lot in space terms.For perspective, the sun is 92million miles away, some 22 times further than the monster asteroid will be.It is not clear if and where you will be able to catch a glimpse of it, as it is expected to zoom past at 6:41am, travelling at 8.3km/s.To stay up to date with all the latest news, make sure you sign up to one of our newsletters here.This comes as last week saw a colossal asteroid that was a whopping 12 times the size of Big Ben whiz past Earth.Asteroid 138971 made its close-earth approach on Saturday, March 5, passing just under three million miles away from us, at a speed of 12.02km/s – nearly 27,000mph.If 138971 were to have entered the Earth's atmosphere, its size was so great that it could have caused an extinction level event – showing how it dwarfs 2015 DR215 in comparison.

London may struggle to see it as light pollution will overpower the brightness of the seventh planet in the solar system. Uranus and its 27 moons are a lot further away from Earth than other planets like Mars, Venus, and Jupiter so usually space-lovers need a high-powered telescope to see anywhere close to the planets in the night sky.But tonight's spectacle will be easier to spot by using the moon as a guiding point.Astronomy.com's guidelines say: "A useful guide is the waxing crescent Moon, which sits in Aries March 6 — a lovely sight in the evening sky.

World War Three occurs would see satellites fall from the sky, forests burn and a nuclear winter spread over the earth killing everyone, according to a popular YouTube channel. Fears of nuclear war have been stoked in recent days following President Vladimir Putin's aggressive invasion of Ukraine, however there has been no indication of nuclear bombs being used.

Vladimir Putin has warned of "consequences greater than any of you have faced in history” if governments rise to Ukraine's defence.As empty as the world hopes Russia's threats are, it has led to the terrifying hypothetical question of what would happen if nuclear bombs blew around the world at once.With no pre-existing data around to explaining the extent of devastation that would unfold from numerous blasts, YouTube channel Kurzgesagt - In a Nutshell, delved into the science.A chilling yet colourful animated video which has been viewed 25 million times since it was uploaded three years ago, breaks down the staggering impact of nuclear warfare.Based on the world's 15,000 nuclear weapons that had been built by March 2019, just three of them would be enough to wipe out an entire city.As such it would take 13,500 nuclear warheads to destroy all of Earth's 4,500 cities. The video compares the power of 15,000 warheads to three billion tons of TNT which is 15 times more devastating than the world's most powerful volcano eruption of Krakatoa.If all the warheads exploded on the same spot it would create an unprecedented 31 mile wide fireball and a blast wave that would destroy everything in its path for 1,865 miles.

Around 600,000 tonnes of household food waste goes to landfill every year, only one third of adults understanding the link between food waste and climate change.

asteroid is hurtling towards us as we speak, and is set to crash into our orbit this coming week. NASA's tool tracking near-earth asteroids has identified an absolute whooper which is more than 12 times larger than Big Ben. Asteroid 138971 will make its close-earth approach on March 5 (this coming Friday) and is so large that it is just one of two asteroids being tracked by the space agency to have been assigned a specific number.

asteroid that is thought to be four times larger than Big Ben will come close to Earth's orbit tomorrow.The rock named 455176 (1999 VF22) was first sighted on November 10, 1999, and has an estimated diameter of 190m to 430m, according to NASA's Earth Close Approaches list.The space rock’s exact size isn’t known as its dark and unreflective surface makes it’s difficult for astronomers to measure but even at its smallest possible size, the asteroid would leave a city-sized dent in the Earth if it were to enter the atmosphereThe latest tracking from NASA claims that the asteroid will come within close proximity to Earth's orbit tomorrow (Tuesday, February 22), although it is not deemed hazardous or expected to crash directly into the planet.However, the data gathered on Saturday, February 19 predicts that it will come close to Earth's orbit but will remain just over five million kilometres away - which isn't a lot in space terms.It is not clear if and where you will be able to catch a glimpse of it this time around as it is expected to zoom past at 6.01 am, travelling at 25.1km/s.But there will be plenty of opportunities to see asteroid flybys – there are currently some 2,200 objects on the NASA Potentially Hazardous Asteroids list.The largest is Asteroid (53319) 1999 JM8 – a four-mile-wide monster that is luckily unlikely to come much closer to us than the planet Venus for the foreseeable future.For the latest breaking news and stories from the Daily Star, sign up for our newsletter by clicking here.The asteroid currently presenting the greatest threat is Bennu, a 460-foot rock that is likely to make a series of close passes of the Earth in a coming couple of centuries – with its closest approach coming on Tuesday,

Caroline Framke Chief TV CriticBy the time “Space Force” premiered in 2020, it already felt outdated. Even with a starry cast including Steve Carell and John Malkovich, and all the money a Netflix greenlight can afford, its soft jokes about a Trumpian president run amok landed with barely any impact. Carell, who co-created “Space Force” with “The Office” producer Greg Daniels, once played one of the most famous bosses in TV history.

coronavirus pandemic began in 2020, the disease has spread all over the world — but there are yet some parts of the map that can lay claim to have avoided the virus completely, including North Sentinel Island in the Indian Ocean.
