Cosmic Conversations - Planetary Defense

  • 8485 Kipling St. Arvada, CO (map)

While it sounds like a concept straight out of a sci-fi movie, planetary defense is a very real and pertinent issue facing not only scientists but civilization as a whole. How could technology be used to defend against a doomsday asteroid? And how likely is an extinction-level event to occur? Join Standley Lake Stargazing as we look at threats from space and how scientists, astronomers and engineers are working together for planetary defense!
