Asteroid Fly- By!

Today Emily Graslie of The Brain Scoop gives us the news about a couple of near- misses for our planet and an update on where astronomers think habitable life might be found in other star systems.

Hank gives us the skinny on three plans NASA scientists have come up with to save Earth from an asteroid impact. Hopefully we’ll never have to use any of them.
