NASA Solar System Ambassador, Jason Fite, leads an engaging, public talk about the fascinating and urgent topic of asteroids. These ancient remnants of our solar system can pose real dangers to Earth. The presentation will introduce what asteroids are, where they come from, and how scientists track them using advanced detection techniques. Learn about the potential risks posed by near-Earth objects, from small impacts to catastrophic collisions, and the real-world strategies being developed to prevent disaster. Mitigation approaches, including deflection missions, early-warning systems, and international collaboration, will be highlighted to show how humanity is preparing to protect our planet.
