The threat of killer space rocks
With funding uncertain, astronomers are struggling to contain the threat of a civilization-ending galactic visitor. There are between one and two million near-Earth objects (NEOs) -- chunks of space rock whose orbits may pass within 30 million miles of Earth -- that pose a significant impact threat to the planet.
