Impact Earth is a planetarium show that teaches about meteors, meteorites, asteroids, and comets.
It includes results from recent NASA missions and about the dangers they can pose to life on Earth. It is created
for fulldome theaters but is also available on DVD to be shown in flat version for TVs and computer monitors.
It shows dramatically the effects of the Chixulub and Tungusta events, plus the Pallasite
impact that resulted in the Brenham meteorite fall, and describes ways that asteroid hunters seek new objects in
the solar system, and how ground penetrating radar is used to find meteorites that have survived to the Earth's surface.
Narrated by astronaut Tom Jones, it also discusses ways that humans might try to deflect an asteroid or comet that is on
a collision course with Earth. (24 minutes)
This is one of many Discovery Dome Shows produced by Space Update Inc.
