In the last half a billion years the Earth has had 5 Major Extinction-Level-Events (ELEs). Theres probably a handful of cosmic events that could easily lead to annihilation of all life on Earth and in this video we go through some of these scenarios. I try to give a rough breakdown of what would happen, how likely the scenario is and what we could possibly do to survive it.
Scenario’s Covered: Asteroid collisions, NASA DART mission, Betelgeuse Supernova, Rogue bodies – rogue planets, intergalactic stars and rogue black holes, Extreme Solar Flares “The Halloween Storms” and the Dying/Expanding Sun.
