The largest planets with their own mini solar systems swarming around them

The Sky at Night team explores the threat of an asteroid impact on earth. Around 2,300 asteroids have been identified as ‘potentially hazardous', and it's thought that a million ‘near-earth objects' are yet to be accounted for.

This book is a celebration of dream about planetology and future explorations

Astrophysicist Professor Tamara Davis explores the impact asteroids have had on our planet and discovers that they may hold the key to one of the greatest scientific mysteries of all – how life began. In the Northern Territory, Tamara sees first-hand the destructive power of an asteroid – the gaping 25 kilometre wide Tnorala crater. Keeping an eye on current threats are teams at the Siding Spring Observatory, where Tamara observes one of the thousands of potentially hazardous asteroids rocketing through space. Tamara uncovers the story of Victoria's Murchison meteorite, which contains complex organic compounds that scientists are experimenting with in New Zealand, to determine if a meteorite could have kickstarted life on earth.
