Can we defend Earth from killer asteroids and comets? We will discuss the events that caused the extinction of the dinosaurs, including the Tunguska Event in 1908 and the 2013 Chelyabinsk asteroid blast that resulted in around 1,600 individuals getting injured while various buildings across six cities suffered significant damage. Our experts, will share the science and real-world implications of planetary defense and how to get involved in this exciting field. The workshop will be highly interactive, and you can participate through our Survey and Q&A while having fun! Visit our “Planetary Defense Resources” booth.
