Near-Earth Asteroids: Impact Hazard and Space Missions

SETI Institute scientist Michael Busch will offer a virtual talk presented by Mt. Tam Astronomy Nights, San Francisco Amateur Astronomers and Wonderfest. 

Near-Earth asteroids (NEAs) are small solar system bodies in orbits that come near — or cross — the orbit of Earth. This illustrated talk will explore NEAs as unique physical worlds, as impact hazards to Earth, and as accessible destinations for spacecraft.
