[00:00:00]The next 100 years in space could change humanity forever. Event one, asteroid flyby. In 2029, the massive asteroid 99942 Apophis will pass terrifyingly close to Earth, closer than some satellites.

[00:00:18]Event two, Halley's Comet. Then in 2061, Halley's Comet returns to our skies, lighting up the night for the first time in decades. Event three, eclipse on Mars. If humans reach Mars, they may witness something surreal, the Martian moon Phobos crossing in front of the sun. Event four, a star explodes. And somewhere in the next century, the giant star Betelgeuse could explode as a supernova, becoming bright enough to shine during daytime. Final event, the new star. But the craziest part, a rare stellar explosion called AT Coronae Borealis outburst, could appear in our sky any day now. A new star visible to the naked eye before disappearing again for another 80 years. The universe is changing and we're alive to witness it.
