Year 8 went to the London Cineworld for the 2024 Into Film Festival this week. Year 8 watched a scientific documentary about the threat of asteroids to the planet. They learned about the Neowise Project by NASA and the Aerospace Corporation that uses PAN Starr telescopes to constantly patrol space for threats. We discovered how to simulate an asteroid impact scenario and how scientists are mapping trajectories of asteroids. Year 8 also learned how different disciplines of science work together to develop technologies to combat the impact of asteroid threats.
