These are the five scariest space facts! If a massive asteroid were headed towards Earth, there probably wouldn’t be much we could do about it. The Sun could emit a massive coronal mass ejection (CME) at any moment, and if we weren't prepared for it, it could knock out the global energy grids, leaving us without power for years. There are black holes lurking in the depths of our galaxy, and if one were to enter our solar system, it would mean the end of everything. When a star runs out of fuel, it can emit a gamma-ray burst, and if a star within 3,000 light years of Earth emitted one aimed at us, our ozone layer could be destroyed. Finally, more space junk is being created every year, putting us at risk of being trapped on Earth.
