FEAR: A group of scientists and
celebrities are calling for action to
prevent a disastrous asteroid strike
on Earth [GETTY] Queen guitarist Brian May and TV
presenter Professor Brian Cox are
among the famous faces calling for
more action to prevent an
apocalyptic asteroid strike. The group want to massively
improve Earth's ability to track
asteroids in outer space. May said: "The more we learn
about asteroid impacts, the clearer
it becomes that the human race has
been living on borrowed time." The group want June 30 to be
known as Asteroid Day to boost
awareness and efforts to prevent a
deadly impact on Earth.

WARNING: Brian May has led calls
to improve Earth's asteroid tracking
ability [GETTY] “The more we learn about
asteroid impacts, the
clearer it becomes that the
human race has been
living on borrowed time” Brian May On that date in 1908 a huge
asteroid destroyed vast swathes of
land and forest in the Tunguska
region of Siberia in Russia. "We are currently aware of less
than 1 per cent of objects
comparable to the one that
impacted at Tunguska," May
added. "Nobody knows when the next big
one will hit. It just takes one." In August scientists revealed
Asteroid 1950, a potential "city-
killer" rock, had the potential to end life on Earth as we know it.

STAR GAZING: The group believe
more can be done to analyse what
is happening in outer space
[GETTY] Astronomer Royal Lord Martin Rees
said: "The ancients were correct in
their belief that the heavens and
the motion of astronomical bodies
affect life on Earth – just not in the
way they imagined. "Sometimes those heavenly bodies
run into Earth. This is why we must
make it our mission to find asteroids
before they find us." It is widely believed a massive
comet or asteroid brought about the
end of the dinosaurs. So how could we steer an asteroid
away from Earth? One theory suggests we should
track them before firing small craft
or rockets to explode and deflect
them off course.
