(This, of course, also could have been said of the 15th century, and it rebounded pretty nicely — the key being the invention of the printing press, followed by Christopher Columbus accidentally ''discovering'' the New World. That prompted the New York Post headline, ''Headless Body in Topless Bar as Italian Explorer Stumbles Upon Civilization.'')

Start the new year right with terrifying trailer for A Quiet Place: Part II | Ars Technica
Things haven't gotten much better for the beleaguered Abbott family, judging by the first official trailer for A Quiet Place: Part II , the sequel to director (and star) John Krasinski's 2018 breakout sci-fi/horror hit, A Quiet Place . It's an auspicious year for a sequel, given that the original film was set in 2020.
* * *
Krasinski originally intended A Quiet Place to be a one-off, standalone film, but it was a critical and box office hit, ultimately grossing $340 million globally against a modest $17 million budget. That was good incentive to think about how one might expand the fictional universe for a sequel. Details have been scant, but Blunt, Simmonds, and Jupe are all reprising their original roles.

Bus-size asteroid will buzz Earth at 18,400 mph on Jan. 2 | FOX 13 Tampa Bay
An asteroid named 2019 AE3 will pass by Earth on the morning of Jan. 2. NASA says the space rock is between 32 and 71 feet long, or roughly the size of a city bus, and zooming through the cosmos at 18,400 miles per hour.
The event is set to occur just three days after five sizeable NEOs flew by the Earth on the same day. The largest was taller than the Statue of Liberty and came within 3.1 million miles of the planet, according to The Sun, while another similar in size to 2019 AE3 practically skimmed it just 415,000 miles away.

Are the monsters in Doctor Who: Spyfall actually the Voord? - Radio Times
One of the most memorable aspects of Doctor Who's series 12 premiere was the genuinely unsettling alien threat: a race of extraterrestrial spies targeting Earth's secret agents and altering their DNA. These creatures rarely spoke, but appeared as vaguely human-shaped glowing figures.

They're VOORDS!! Their heads look like Voord helmets, they are part humanoid and part tech, and the company is called VOR, with the logo plastered everywhere – so very The Master!! I'm calling it now!

“One of the angels asked whether I would like to experience what it would be like to make love to an alien, but I just thought, 'No',” he said.
