If insomnia is recurrent, however, it is important to find its causes and try to correct them, with the help of a doctor if necessary.

锟斤拷锟斤拷Unless we spend money to spot and prevent asteroids (小锟斤拷锟斤拷) now锟斤拷one might crash into Earth and destroy life as we know it锟斤拷say some scientists.?

锟斤拷锟斤拷Asteroids are bigger versions of the meteoroids(锟斤拷锟斤拷)that race across the night sky. Most orbit the sun far from Earth and don't threaten us. But there are also thousands whose orbits put them on a collision course with Earth.?

锟斤拷锟斤拷Buy $ 50 million worth of new telescopes right now. Then spend $ 10 million a year for the next 25 years to locate most of the space rocks. By the time we spot a fatal one锟斤拷the scientists say锟斤拷we'll have a way to change its course.?

锟斤拷锟斤拷Some scientists favor pushing asteroids off course with nuclear weapons. But the cost wouldn't be cheap.?

锟斤拷锟斤拷Is it worth it? Two things experts consider when judging any risk are: 1) How likely the event is; and 2) How bad the consequences if the event occurs. Experts think an asteroid big enough to destroy lots of life might strike Earth once every 500锟斤拷000 years. Sounds pretty rare-but if one did fall锟斤拷it would be the end of the world. “If we don't take care of these big asteroids锟斤拷they'll take care of us锟斤拷”says one scientist. “It's that simple.”?

锟斤拷锟斤拷The cure锟斤拷though锟斤拷might be worse than the disease. Do we really want fleets of nuclear weapons sitting around on Earth? “The world has less to fear from doomsday(锟斤拷锟斤拷锟皆碉拷) rocks than from a great nuclear fleet set against them锟斤拷” said a New York Times article.
