Uncover the hidden dangers of Space Hazards and near-Earth objects in this fascinating exploration!Earth is not isolated in outer space, but surrounded by an array of potentially hazardous objects within our own solar system and beyond. Although none of these objects provide any immediate threat to life, it is the work of scientists around the world to continue monitoring the presence and potential risk of these threats.Although none of these objects provide any immediate threat to life, it is the work of scientists around the world to continue monitoring the presence and potential risk of these threats.Dr. Ryan French explores the science of multiple space hazards and discusses the probability and potential impacts of each of them.Topic covered include: Asteroids & near-Earth objects, Space weather, Earth polarity flips, Space junk, stellar and black hole collisions.

Dr. Ryan French is a solar physicist, science communicator and author. He is pursuing the mysteries of the Sun at the forefront of modern solar physics research, using cutting edge telescopes on the ground and in space. His research takes him all over the world, collaborating with the global community of solar physicists. Ryan also works to share the wonders of the Sun and space with the public, through social media, museums and observatories, and on television and radio. He is also an avid hiker, rock climber, and skier, perhaps because the mountains take him closer to the Sun. Keep up to date with Ryan's other projects at www.ryanjfrench.com
