Are asteroids a danger to Earth?
DART mission.
Presentation by John Martin
This presentation explores the real threat asteroids pose to Earth and showcases humanity’s proactive response through the groundbreaking DART mission. We’ll visually illustrate the potential devastation of an impact, then delve into how DART successfully altered an asteroid’s trajectory, demonstrating our capability to deflect future threats. Expect clear explanations of complex science, stunning visuals, and a hopeful message about our ability to protect our planet.
