ASTEROID DAY

We had some technical difficulties. Please skip the first 12 minutes of the video. Asteroid Day 2018 will kick off on February 15 with a high-level Google Hangout hosted on the Asteroid Day website (http://asteroidday.org/2018-kickoff). Host Scott Manley, Astronogamer and asteroid expert, will be joined by Dr. Ed Lu, Director of the B612 Asteroid Institute; Planetary Scientist and Astronaut Dr. Tom Jones; Physicist Dr. Mark Boslough; Debbie Lewis, a specialist in risk, crisis and disaster management; Ian Carnelli, an asteroid mission expert at the European Space Agency (ESA); Dr. Rüdiger Jehn, from ESA’s near-Earth object survey team, and Danica Remy, Asteroid Day co-founder. The expert panel will provide updates on asteroid-related research, public policy and detection and deflection missions, as well as additional information on Asteroid Day 2018 programs and participants. The Hangout begins at 8:00 AM (Pacific Time/1700 CET) and can be viewed via the Asteroid Day website at: https://asteroidday.org/2018-kickoff. You can ask questions during the Hangout using the Hashtag #AsteroidDay2018 on Twitter or send them to [email protected]

Read the full article about interstellar asteroid, `Oumuamua here: http://asteroid.lu/Oumuamua-eso On 19 October 2017, the Pan-STARRS 1 telescope in Hawai`i picked up a faint point of light moving across the sky. It initially looked like a typical fast-moving small asteroid, but additional observations over the next couple of days allowed its orbit to be computed fairly accurately. The orbit calculations revealed beyond any doubt that this body did not originate from inside the Solar System, like all other asteroids or comets ever observed, but instead had come from interstellar space. Although originally classified as a comet, observations from ESO and elsewhere revealed no signs of cometary activity after it passed closest to the Sun in September 2017. The object was reclassified as an interstellar asteroid and named 1I/2017 U1 (`Oumuamua). Asteroid Day is a global movement to protect Earth from asteroid impacts. Join us today!

During a press event on November 14, 2016 at the Museum für Naturkunde (MfN) (Museum of Natural History) in Berlin, a major campaign was launched to support scientific missions designed to increase our knowledge of asteroids and near Earth objects (NEOs), in particular ESA's Asteroid Impact Mission. The campaign, “I Support AIM (www.isupportaim.com) was initiated by the co-founders of Asteroid Day, the global movement to protect the world from dangerous Asteroids, and the Observatoire de la C.te D’Azur, one of the most important research institutions worldwide in the areas of biological and geological evolution and biodiversity.

Why, exactly, is it that we need more resources — telescopes, equipment, people, etc. — to discover more Near-Earth Asteroids? Eric Christensen, who is director of the Catalina Sky Survey at the University of Arizona’s Lunar and Planetary Lab, lays out the current status of NEO research and why more is needed.

Visit our website: http://asteroidday.org | Episode 2: Detection. Employing existing and new technologies to detect and track asteroids and demonstrating deflection capabilities to prevent future asteroid impacts could be one of humanity’s greatest achievements in protecting our planet. Episode 2 explores the topic of asteroid detection, where scientists, astronauts, and asteroid experts discuss what’s known about the NEO population and Earth’s impact history, and why asteroid detection is the critical first step. We can’t stop what we can’t see.

Visit our website: http://asteroidday.org | Episode 3: Deflection. Asteroid Day experts talk about the importance of developing deflection strategies and various methods of response, from the Gravity Tractor to the ESA mission AIM. The unifying theme is that the more we learn about all of these objects, test and evaluate, the more we can be prepared for a possible impact or prevent it from happening. When you want to interact with such a body and try to deflect it, it can be very tricky, so testing is essential.

Visit our website: http://asteroidday.org | Episode 4: Characterisation. When a survey discovers an asteroid, we try to characterise the object from its orbital elements. When dealing with near-Earth objects beyond the orbital elements, we need to find out how fast it is rotating, what it’s made out of, and what are its surface properties. Did Asteroids bring the minerals and water to create life on Earth and also have the ability to end it?

Visit our website: http://asteroidday.org | Episode 6: Politics. When experts working in the field of planetary defense determine that an asteroid threat is emerging, decisions must be made on how to act and how to communicate this threat to the public. Governments are traditionally challenged to make those decisions quickly. Global awareness and communication of where asteroids are, their properties and where they are headed is vital to designing a comprehensive planetary defense strategy.
