#HappeningNow Apophis T-5 Years Workshop: Knowledge Opportunity for the Science of Planetary Defense
at #ESA ESTEC in the Netherlands. In 2029, near-Earth asteroid #Apophis ☄️ will pass close to #Earth within 5.8 Earth-radii 🌍 A once-per-thousand year event! #planetarydefense
2023 BU adlı yeni keşfedilen bir asteroidin, şimdiye kadar kaydedilen Dünya'ya yakın bir nesnenin en yakın yaklaşımlarından birini yapması bekleniyor. #planetarydefense uzmanlarından oluşan çalışkan ekipler sayesinde, Dünya için sıfır risk oluşturduğunu biliyoruz.
Did you know our #PlanetaryDefense team watches the skies 24/7 to find, track and characterize near-Earth objects? Here’s what we’ve found so far: go.nasa.gov/3OTM0YH
This week I am European Space Agency ESTEC for an #Apophis #Asteroid workshop. The flyby of Apophis in 5 years is a once in 1000 years event and unique science opportunity. It's time for the space agencies to rally around this unique event for #science and #PlanetaryDefense
While several geopolitical developments took centre-stage at G20 Summit in New Delhi, on its sidelines, India & US agreed to work on #PlanetaryDefense to protect Earth & space assets from hazardous impact of #asteroids and near-Earth objects.
Besides, #IndiaUS are also working
What do we know about the asteroids & comets in Earth's neighborhood? There are lots out there & NASA's on the hunt. #PlanetaryDefense - which includes finding, tracking & characterizing near-Earth objects - is part of our mission. Here's what we've found:
Flight models of gravity measurement axis for GRASS #JUVENTAS gravimeter, under integration at BIRA-IASB for @ESA #PlanetaryDefense #HeraMission Observatory.be

In about one year from now, the European Space Agency will launch its Hera mission. Its destination is the asteroid Didymos, and it’ll be the second human spacecraft to visit the 390-meter chunk of rock. 1/2 #PlanetaryDefense

What do we know about the #asteroids & comets in Earth's neighborhood? Our #PlanetaryDefense program is in charge of finding, tracking, and better understanding near-Earth asteroids to confirm if they pose an impact risk to Earth. Here's what we've found: go.nasa.gov/3T1MlsD
Congratulations for this project and definitely this #PlanetaryDefense system will prove to be a great inintiative in protecting our #MotherEarth from unforeseen #Cosmic disasters.
#asteroid #2023DW the only object on NASA's risk list that ranks 1 out of 10 on the Torino Impact Hazard Scale. All other objects rank at 0 on the Torino scale. The closest 2023DW is expected to travel to Earth is ~1.8 million km #scienceandtechnology #planetarydefense #Space

On Asteroid Day ☄, let's learn more about European Space Agency's #HeraMission , along with NASA #DART mission - humankind’s first probe to explore a binary asteroid system.
Without #PlanetaryDefense there would be no Earth for us to observe 😅
