In April 2029, a rare visitor is going to swing through near-Earth space.
The government has asked scientists to carry out research into the impact of the controversial pregnancy drug DES, following an ITV News investigation.
Diethylstilbestrol, commonly known as DES, was a synthetic hormone prescribed to an estimated 300'000 women on the NHS between the late 1930s and 1980s to treat several issues, including miscarriage, until it was linked to rare cancers and infertility in the daughters of those who took it.

Our satellite has endured countless blows over millions of years - and astronomers think this one could be a useful accident.
Los proyectiles de plomo de las hondas romanas revelan dos rutas distintas en la conquista de los Alpes
En el verano del año 15 antes de Cristo, los dos hijastros del emperador Augusto, Tiberio y Druso, sometieron los Alpes centrales y la meseta suiza al control de Roma. Aquella campaña cerró décadas de esfuerzos por unir las provincias galas con Iliria y asegurar las rutas entre el norte de Italia y
Scientists warn about space debris after huge SpaceX rocket part thought to have hit Moon - BBC News
The stray upper stage (section) of SpaceX's Falcon 9 rocket is about the size of a five-storey building, with a mass of at least 4,000kg.
Researchers outline a theoretical plan to help Earth survive the Sun's death through artificial sunlight and other futuristic technologies.
In about one billion years, the Sun is expected to exhaust the hydrogen fuel in its core and expand into a red giant. As it swells, the intense heat would strip away Earth’s oceans and atmosphere. Scientists believe the planet could eventually be engulfed.
Later, the Sun would collapse into a faint white dwarf, leaving the solar system cold and dim. Farther into the future, in about 100 trillion years, the universe is expected to stop producing new stars.
A new study argues that life on Earth may not have to end with those events. Instead of abandoning the planet, researchers outline a series of theoretical engineering projects designed to keep Earth habitable for trillions of years.
The proposals rely on technologies far beyond today’s capabilities and are intended to explore what physics may ultimately allow rather than what can be built now.
