Asteroids bombard our atmosphere all the time. Some are harmless, burning up in a flash of light. But others explode with a great sonic boom, smashing windows and throwing people to the ground. Worst of all, some asteroids strike our planet, blasting out massive craters and destroying everything nearby on impact.
Follow Liz and Karin into the field with scientists as they search for dangerous asteroids in space, study asteroids that have smashed into the ground, and make plans to prevent an asteroid strike if one ever threatens our planet.

SPEAKING
Our brains are wired to remember pictures over words. If you hear something, 3 days later you’ll only remember 10% of it, but if a picture is added, you’ll remember 65%. SOURCE
To compete and be relevant in an image-driven marketplace, now more than ever, it's vital
that we become visually literate.
