Description

What exactly are asteroids and comets? Where are they found? What can they tell us about where we come from? What's the danger of an asteroid hitting Earth and how do we know? If we detected an asteroid on a direct collision course with Earth, how could we stop it?  What's the difference between a meteor, a meteoroid, and a meteorite? How has Halley's Comet changed history? Why was Pluto demoted? What are the dwarf planets like? Join us to learn the answers to all these questions and more about the small bodies of the solar system.
