Summary

Asteroids come in all shapes and sizes, but what happens if a catastrophically large one approaches Earth? By looking on the ground at historical asteroid craters and present-day falls, and up into space for the big ones yet to come, a wide variety of scientists are trying to figure out how to track asteroids--and how to avoid devastating impacts in the future
