Volcano eruptions happen almost once every four days across the entire world, with up to 80 usually record in any given year. But eruptions on Earth would look entirely different to those on other planets or asteroids, scientists have revealed, because not all planets are made entirely of rock.

Indian school students discover 18 new asteroids

School students in India have discovered 18 asteroids as part of a global science programme, according to the International Astronomical Union (IAU), an organisation that assigns official names and designations to celestial bodies.

The International Asteroid Discovery Project was conducted by STEM and Space, an organisation working towards the learning of astronomy and space science in India, along with the International Astronomical Search Collaboration (IASC) as part of a NASA citizen science project.

And though there is no risk of impact from RM45, its size and speed paint a bleak picture of what else could be lurking in the depths of space.
Only last year did a 4.1km-wide rock coast past our planet and a 10km-wide asteroid is believed to have wiped out the dinosaurs 65 million years ago.
Asteroid RM45 is estimated to measure somewhere between 310m and 680m across.
At the upper end of the estimate, the space rock is more than seven times as tall as Big Ben's clocktower in Westminster, London.

Asteroid 2-times size of Big Ben to pass Earth- NASA tracking 'potentially hazardous' rock

Experts revealed 2020 XU6 will zoom by at more than 10 times the distance between the Earth and the Moon.
The distance between our planet and its lunar satellite - known as a lunar distance (LD) - stands at more than 380,000 kilometres.
Asteroid 2020 XU6 will pass Earth at 10.7 LDs. According to NASA, that is still a close enough distance for the asteroid to be considered a 'near Earth object' (NEO).
The definition of a NEO in astronomical terms is any small solar system body which comes within 1.3 astronomical units (AU) of the Earth.
