The NASA Asteroid Grand Challenge (AGC) ran a public challenge to develop this short video. Learn how this was created.
“Find Them Now” uses a narrative based on a fictional asteroid named “Arthur” to explain how the asteroid’s spin, size, composition and mass would be determined using radar, astrometry, ground and space-based infrared spectroscopy, and light curve analysis.
We believe working together we can protect our planet from potentially harmful asteroids. This video, and other efforts like it, are part of a large-scale endeavor to use multi-disciplinary collaborations to solve the Asteroid Grand Challenge.
