In this Astronomy Live, venture beyond the familiar eight planets to reveal the vast populations of these small bodies scattered throughout our solar system. From rocky, silicate-rich rubble piles to dense, metallic planetesimal cores, each asteroid tells a different story about the history of our planets.
Hear how NASA’s Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) has transformed our understanding of planetary defense and how cutting-edge computed tomography imaging is unlocking the secrets of meteorites in the Museum’s scientific collections. From the asteroid belt to your backyard, discover what these space rocks can teach us about the complexities of our solar system.
