Asteroid Nightlife

Celebrate World Asteroid Day with an evening of space talks, space rocks, and out-of-this-world science. Hear from Asteroid Day founders from the B612 Foundation about how they're working to promote asteroid awareness around the world.

Then, catch the Academy's latest original planetarium show Incoming!, narrated by George Takei-an immersive, all-digital show exploring asteroids, comets, and the hard-hitting stories of our cosmic origins. Hear from space scientists, including Southwest Research Institute's Dr. Clark Chapman, Dr. Lynne Jones of the Large Synoptic Survey Telescope, asteroid expert Scott Manley, and everyone's favorite "meteorite man" Geoff Notkin.

Plus, view real meteorites on display and pick up skywatching tips from the Robert Ferguson Observatory, Chabot Observatory, and the Academy's own Morrison Planetarium team.
