A universe of ideas will transform your Asteroid Day into a special moment. Choose your favourite.

Asteroid Day will take place over the weekend, offering engaging and educational activities to provide a learning experience and increase awareness.

Raise awareness creatively in your community about the protection of our planet, the connection between asteroids and the origins of our solar system, and the new perspectives for exploration, study, and extraction of its resources in the near future. Ready for some tips?

We offer a special gift: a poster exhibition on Asteroid Missions with 15 stunning posters for budget-friendly printing. Each poster will give access to additional information using mobile devices;

Consider organising an asteroid-themed competition at your school, club or with your family and friends. Check out our quizzes, a hangman game, riddles involving asteroid names, and an exciting way to reach the asteroids using a deck of cards! 

Here we list moments about the history, study, observation, and exploration of asteroids that are being highlighted this year, ideal for hooking your audience through lectures, talks and conferences.

Asteroid Day will be marked by the presence of a beautiful gibbous moon in the sky! Delight your audience with a Moon-watching session and explain to them the formation of craters resulting from asteroid impacts.

Do you want to teach children about asteroids? Remember that the Little Prince will be your best  teaching tool about these fascinating space rocks.

 

An Asteroid Day event is not restricted to museums, planetariums, observatories, and science centres. Gather friends and family for a special Asteroid Day at home. Spice it up with film screenings about asteroids and planetary defence, musical numbers, or safe and delicious experiments in your own kitchen!

Contests for a large audience can be organised through Internet tools and social media. Discover your capability to actively involve the audience.

Check out our event organiser toolkit (available in English, French, Spanish, and Portuguese) for even more ideas!

Once you have planned your event, register it on our website so you can be featured on our social media!

Make sure to take lots of photos and videos then fill out an event report to get the chance to have a custom article written about your organisation on our website! Our goal is to highlight you and your work towards educating the public about asteroids!

Have a great Asteroid Day!
