"Highly recommended for anyone interested in space and the dangers that lurk there."BBC Sky at Night Magazine
"Essential reading for anyone desperate for some facts and probabilities about actual threats to Earth in the age of the cosmically ill-informed."Forbes
"For anyone looking for an engaging and trustworthy guide to our place in a constantly shifting cosmos, Space Hazards is a rewarding read, a clear and reassuring guide to the real cosmic risks that matter and the ones that do not." Astrobites
Earth is not isolated in space but surrounded by a diverse array of potentially hazardous phenomena within our solar system and beyond. While none pose an immediate threat to life, it is crucial for scientists worldwide to continuously monitor their presence, assess potential risks, and develop strategies to mitigate them.
In this insightful exploration, Dr. Ryan French delves into the science behind multiple space hazards, examining their probabilities and potential impacts on our planet. Topics covered include asteroids and near-Earth objects, space weather events, Earth's magnetic polarity flips, the growing challenge of space debris, and the cosmic effects of stellar and black hole collisions.
This comprehensive overview offers us a compelling look at the dynamic and sometimes dangerous environment surrounding Earth, highlighting the importance of ongoing research and preparedness in safeguarding the future of our planet.

Dr. Ryan French is a solar physicist, science communicator and author. He is pursuing the mysteries of the Sun at the forefront of modern solar physics research, using cutting edge telescopes on the ground and in space. His research takes him all over the world, collaborating with the global community of solar physicists. Ryan also works to share the wonders of the Sun and space with the public, through social media, museums and observatories, and on television and radio. He is also an avid hiker, rock climber, and skier, perhaps because the mountains take him closer to the Sun. Keep up to date with Ryan's other projects at [...]
