- Description
In the edition of Space, Euronews correspondent Jeremy Wilks reports from the Observatory of the Côte d'Azur in the south of France on a unique mission to deflect an asteroid.
Asteroids have the potential to cause a catastrophe - a small asteroid could wipe out an entire city, while a large one could mean the end for us all.
It's a threat we're aware of, and which scientists and engineers are working to overcome.
