Informal and formal educators (all audiences welcome)

Overview:

Perhaps you've heard about an asteroid making a close pass by Earth and you've wondered just how close it will get. Or maybe you've enjoyed seeing a meteor shower on a starry night and thought about the science behind these celestial events. Did you know that NASA monitors and tracks asteroids and comets to better understand them from a science perspective and also to keep a close watch on any objects that might come close to Earth?

In this live, educational science talk, Paul Chodas of NASA's Center for Near-Earth Object Studies and education specialist Brandon Rodriguez will discuss how we track asteroids and comets and monitor potential hazards from these space objects.

The presentation will include a live Q&A session and a short discussion for educators on how to bring this exciting science into the classroom with resources from NASA.
