SUMMARY:Free Activity Learning Event - Planetary Defense at NASA
DESCRIPTION:Date/Time: Thursday\, March 26 at 7:00 p.m. ET / 4:00 p.m. PT\nTalk Title: Planetary Defense at NASA\nTalk Description: What would happen if an asteroid were on a collision course with Earth? Dr. Kelly Fast\, NASA’s Acting Planetary Defense Officer\, will provide an engaging overview of how NASA’s planetary defense program discovers\, tracks\, and studies near-Earth objects—asteroids and comets that could pose an impact hazard to our planet—and how scientists and engineers are studying methods to deflect them\, if necessary. Attendees will also learn about the global network of astronomers and planetary defenders who work together to share observations\, verify data\, and safeguard our planet from cosmic impact threats.\nSpeaker: Dr. Kelly Fast (NASA Headquarters)\nSpeaker Bio: Dr. Kelly Fast is the Acting Planetary Defense Officer for NASA’s Planetary Defense Coordination Office\, having previously managed its Near-Earth Object Observations Program for a decade. Dr. Fast also led NASA’s Solar System Observations\, Planetary Astronomy and Planetary Atmospheres research programs\, and she served as Program Scientist for the MAVEN mission to Mars. She investigated ozone and atmospheric chemistry on Mars\, winds on Titan\, and the effects on Jupiter’s stratosphere of small body impacts as an astronomer at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center before coming to NASA Headquarters in 2011. She earned her B.S. in Astrophysics from UCLA and her M.S. and Ph.D. in Astronomy from the University of Maryland. Main-belt asteroid 115434 (2003 TU2) was renamed “Kellyfast” in honor of Dr. Fast’s contributions to planetary science.\nWebinar Connection Info:\n\nJoin the meeting now\nMeeting ID: 216 209 385 918 0\nPasscode: tu7mP7Mq\nJoin by phone: +1-256-715-9946 (phone conference ID: 312 238 577#)\n\n\n\n  \nWe also have a Google Form to sign up for the program\, so feel free to share with other senior living communities that might be interested in joining. \n
