Cosmic Conversations - Planetary Defense

  • Standley Lake Public Library 8485 Kipling Street Arvada, CO, 80005 United States (map)

Life-threatening comets and asteroids have lurked in our solar system for billions of years, but for the first time in history NASA has successfully redirected the course of an asteroid with its DART mission, paving the way for future missions that might eventually save humanity. Join Standley Lake Stargazing as we explore NASA’s real-life monitoring programs and intervention techniques, managed by the Planetary Defense Coordination Office.
