Solar flares, microbes from Mars, and mankind: Astronomer Vladimir Surdin speaks about threats in Universe

What threatens mankind in the Universe? Why do the inhabitants of Earth think about taking over other planets? How to follow the solar flares and understand the birth of a supernova—which is actually its death?

In how many years will the most dangerous Betelgeuse star for us explode? And will we be able to accurately predict the arrival of the dangerous star in the foreseeable future and avoid a collision with it?

How many more years can planet Earth exist—taking into account the active interference by mankind? And why the most dangerous threat to mankind is himself?

All the aforesaid is discussed in an interview with Vladimir Surdin, a Russian astronomer and enlightener in the field of science, and a senior researcher at the P.K. Sternberg State Astronomical Institute and the Faculty of Physics at Moscow State University.

The partner of these series of interviews about science and modern technology is Team Telecom Armenia company.
