Friday Night Lecture Series: “The Asteroids”

Remnants of our Solar System’s early existence are still with us. Over one million of them orbit the Sun–and some pass dangerously close to the Earth. Some can be seen unaided-eye and some have been visited by spacecraft. From Ceres to Apophis, an understanding of what role these objects play in our lives is more important than ever.
