The Doomsday clock has kept track of the likelihood of humanity's annihilation since it 1947 and on Thursday, a panel of scientists will again unveil it for the 75th time to determine our fate.
The clock's hand has remained at 100 seconds to midnight for the past two year, but with war looming between Russia and Ukraine, climate disasters worldwide, conflict in space and coronavirus cases spike around the globe it is hard to imagine the Bulletin of Atomic Scientists turning back time.
The closet the clock has come to hitting midnight was two minutes before at the height of the Cold War in 1953 and the farthest was when it moved 17 minutes before midnight at the end of the same war.
The Bulletin of Atomic Scientists plan to host a livestream of the event at 10:00am EST (1500 GMT) tomorrow, January 20.
