Original Message A group of esteemed astronauts has warned the United Nations that a "global effort" is required to protect the Earth against deadly asteroid impacts.

Former astronaut Edward Lu, who also co-founded a non-profit to push governments to adopt anti-asteroid policies, said that there are "100 times" as many potentially deadly asteroids in space as we currently know about.

Which is bad news - because we already know about roughly a million of them.

"Our challenge is to find these asteroids first, before they find us," he said

Meanwhile Nasa has released this terrifying graphic, showing the path of the potentially deadly asteroids that we've found so far... Gulp.
