Congratulations to Dr. Brian May, astrophysicist, Queen guitarist, and #AsteroidDay cofounder, on receiving the National Space Society’s 2020 Space Pioneer Award. He joins B612 cofounder and Apollo 9 astronaut #RustySchweickart, who received the award in 2009 for Historic Space Achievement.

Asteroids regularly slam into Earth, but in 2022 a little bit of Earth slammed into an asteroid - in the shape of NASA's DART spacecraft hitting Dimorphos. This autumn ESA's Hera spacecraft reaches this same body to try and find out: could we save Earth from an incoming asteroid? #AsteroidDay

On June 23, a flyby of near-Earth asteroid 2025LT traveled so closely to Earth that it was only 1% of the Earth-Sun distance away from our planet. Because this asteroid was traveling so close, it was moving incredibly fast — 14 km/s — and therefore tricky to catch! #AsteroidDay 🧪

Happy #AsteroidDay ! To celebrate here's something from a little over two years ago when asteroid (1) Ceres was passing in front of spiral galaxy Messier 100. 🔭

Chaos, panic, total devastation: asteroids in films are scary, and only an unlikely, heroic mission can save humanity 🚀 ☄️

But what would happen if an asteroid hurtled towards us for real?

#asteroidday Today in 1908, a ca. 50-m-sized asteroid slammed into the Earth's atmosphere, luckily (for most of people alive then) in sparsely-populated Siberia, resulting in a multi-Megaton (up to 50) explosion in the atmosphere, leveling 1000s of square km of forest. The "Tunguska event"... (1/7)

i should have posted this yesterday of course (on #asteroidday), but this is a very nice review (by penny wozniakiewicz) of my little book 'target earth' (@mitpress.bsky.social), in the july issue of bbc sky at night magazine 🤗⭐📚🔭

One day late for #AsteroidDay, I discovered a video of a presentation I gave about airbursts including Tunguska.

Happy #AsteroidDay: On the morning of June 30, 1908, eyewitnesses reported a large fireball crossing the sky above #Tunguska in Siberia, traveling at a speed of about 33,500 miles per hour. #TheColourOutofSpace wp.me/p3ihHu-1Xl #Lovecraft #histci

Let’s say the action movie cliché has come to pass: A huge asteroid is barreling its way toward our planet. Can humanity be saved?

Yes—with a carefully detonated nuclear warhead, suggests a unique study published in 2024.

👨‍🚀 How to keep astronauts safe on an asteroid mission?

☄️ @esa.int experts at #AsteroidDay in Luxembourg discussed space medicine and spaceflight simulations.

Their research enables medical applications, such as remote monitoring & healthcare for extreme environments.

#PPOD: Today is #AsteroidDay, the anniversary of the Tunguska Event, when we raise awareness about potentially hazardous asteroids and their possible impacts on Earth. We also celebrate the addition of a new tool in our quest for planetary defense -- @vrubinobs.bsky.social 🧪 🔭 👩‍🔬

Hey! It’s #AsteroidDay 💥 Why not celebrate the traditional way—by backing a #crowdfund for a set of cosmic #enamelpins? The campaign even includes a #Tunguska sticker, tipping a hat to the explosive inspiration behind Asteroid Day itself. | LINK: shorturl.at/LJm1i | #sciArt #dinoArt #paleoArt

Tunguska holds the moment before the airburst: one heated rock, a thin blue atmosphere, and the quiet scale of planetary risk.

It’s International #AsteroidDay! According to the #UN, the occasion is meant to help raise public awareness about potential asteroid impact hazards. www.un.org/en/observanc...

It’s also a great time to learn about some fascinating science studying giant space rocks. 🔭🧪🧵

Mining the asteroids of Neterun is standard procedure for any raider.
Which is exactly why it’s dangerous and potentially lethal.
