Additional Video Information

Scientists are constantly monitoring near-Earth asteroids to better understand potential impact risks and how large space objects could affect our planet. In this video, we explore the science behind large asteroids, their potential impact energy, how astronomers track objects approaching Earth, and what researchers know about the risks associated with major asteroid impacts. We’ll also look at how scientists estimate an asteroid’s size, speed, and impact effects, as well as the technologies being developed to detect and potentially deflect hazardous asteroids. This video is for educational and informational purposes and does not indicate that a continent-killing asteroid is currently on a confirmed collision course with Earth. #Asteroid #Space #NASA #Astronomy #NearEarthObjects ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Our Social Media: ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This video is made for entertainment purposes.
