Near-Earth Asteroids, The Impact Hazard, and Space Missions - Livestream

Near-Earth asteroids (NEAs) are small solar system bodies in orbits that come near or cross the orbit of Earth.  I will review NEAs as unique physical worlds, as potential impact hazards to Earth, and as accessible destinations for spacecraft. 

Michael W. Busch, PhD, is a planetary astronomer and research scientist at the SETI Institute.  His research focuses primarily on studying individual asteroids with radar and radio technique; to understand their histories, rule out future Earth impacts, and support space missions.
