Extraterrestrial hazards are caused by asteroids, meteoroids, and comets as they pass near to the Earth, enter the Earth’s atmosphere, and/or strike the Earth, and by changes in interplanetary conditions that effect the Earth’s magnetosphere, ionosphere, and thermosphere.

Statements
Extraterrestrial hazards are caused by asteroids, meteoroids, and comets as they pass near to the Earth, enter the Earth’s atmosphere, and/or strike the Earth, and by changes in interplanetary conditions that effect the Earth’s magnetosphere, ionosphere, and thermosphere.
We have not applied extra-terrestrial hazard to our dataset, as it is not relevant to our climate-centred dataset (e.g. meteor impacts).
