About this episode

Scientists predict some jaw-dropping events heading our way. Get ready for Earth's magnetic field to do a fliparoo, which could mean crazy geomagnetic storms and power outages galore. Plus, in 40,000 years, Voyager probes will be waving hello to another star, carrying Earth's sounds and images with them. Oh, and mark your calendars for April 13th, 2029, when Apophis, the asteroid of doom, swings by super close to Earth without wreaking havoc. Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin's moon footprints? Poof, gone! Saturn's rings? They'll vanish in about 100 million years. Whoa, talk about a cosmic rollercoaster! 🌌🎢 Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
