Host an Event
All around the globe, regionally organised events are held on Asteroid Day.These events range from live concerts and community events, to lectures and other educational programmes, to raise public awareness of the need for increased detection and mapping of asteroids.
Educate the next Generation
June 30th primarily is about asteroid education. Asteroids are not just hazardous to our planet; they provide us the building blocks to life by transporting them to Earth. Whether you decide to organise an event for young school children, higher educated students or just for your friends, we can provide you with the necessary tools to execute a successful event.
Need some inspiration?
Our inaugural Asteroid Day in 2015 saw over 150 self-organised events across the world. It helped move the global conversation forward. This year we are expecting the conversation to be even louder and more productive. Join us.
Screen A Film
The feature film 51º NORTH was directed by Asteroid Day co-founder Grig Richters and musician Brian May scored the music. The film inspired the commencement of Asteroid Day and is available for free to event organisers.
