Description:

Paul Hill and Dr. Jenifer “Dr. Dust” Millard host. 

Damien Phillips, John Wildridge and Dustin Ruoff produce.

Astronomy 101 – Everything you need to know about asteroids!

  • What are they?
  • What are they made of?
  • Where are they??

Dr. Jen tells us how we understand so much about these small(ish) objects far away in the Asteroid Belt. Is the asteroid Belt really like the sci-fi depictions and are there other places in the solar system where these fragments of the early solar system roam? And no talk on asteroids would be complete without considering the threat to Earth (and all life on Earth) from them…

Bio: Awesome Astronomy explores the frontiers of science, space and our evolving understanding of the universe.
