Scientists determine near-Earth  Scientists determine near-Earth Asteroids are thought to have been the cause of demise of the mighty dinosaurs, and many theories suggest they would probably be the reason for humanity's downfall too Scientists actively monitor near-Earth asteroids through programs like NASA's Near-Earth Object Observations (NEOO) program. They use telescopes and other detection methods to identify and track potentially hazardous asteroids. Additionally, there are proposed methods for deflecting asteroids, such as using spacecraft to gently nudge them off course or employing explosive devices to alter their trajectory. These efforts aim to prevent a potential impact and minimize the risk to humanity. While the threat is real, ongoing research and preparedness help mitigate the risks associated with near-Earth asteroids .

China Wants To Put CCTV On The Moon To Keep Eyes On Its Future Lunar Base

China's National Space Administration (CNSA) has unveiled its ambitious plans for a lunar base, marking a significant milestone in the nation's space exploration endeavors. The concept for the lunar base outlines a multi-phase development spanning the next couple of decades, with the ultimate goal of establishing a sustained human presence on the Moon. The lunar base concept includes several key components: 1. **Initial Missions**: CNSA plans to conduct initial robotic missions to the lunar surface to scout potential landing sites and assess resource availability. These missions will lay the groundwork for future human exploration. 2. **Human Missions**: Building on the success of robotic missions, China intends to send astronauts to the Moon to conduct scientific research, technology demonstrations, and to begin construction of the lunar base infrastructure. These missions will likely involve multiple crewed landings over several years. 3. **Infrastructure Development**: The l
