Che cosa ha una larghezza di 9 km e può, in un istante, terminare il corso della civiltà? Un asteroide. E là fuori ce ne sono parecchi. Con gran senso dell'umorismo e interessanti supporti visivi, Phil Plait ammalia il pubblico di TEDxBoulder mostrando tutti i modi in cui un asteroide potrebbe uccidere e cosa dobbiamo fare per evitare che avvenga.

Phil Plait blogs at Bad Astronomy, where he deconstructs misconceptions and explores the wonder of the universe. Full bio »
