About Event

Are we helpless against the kind of asteroid impacts that wiped out the dinosaurs? Not if we look up! For several decades there have been multiple surveys to chart and track potentially hazardous Near-Earth Objects (NEO), which can cause significant disasters if they hit the Earth. Join our conversation with two astronomers who have already tracked many NEOs and are working on NASA's next NEO-seeking space telescope called the NEO Surveyor. 

This show was originally broadcast live on February 24, 2022 @ 6:15 PM (ET) / 3:15 PM (PT)
