Asteroids have shaped the history of our planet — and one day another dangerous one will cross Earth’s path. An impact could cause serious damage and loss of life, especially if it struck populated areas or if a near-coastal impact caused an ocean tsunami.
But there is a powerful reason for hope: YOU. Thanks to supporters like you, The Planetary Society is able to work with partners around the world advancing the science, technology, and advocacy needed to protect our planet and safeguard humanity’s future.
Asteroid impacts are rare but could be catastrophic. The earlier we find and track these objects, the more time we have to act. Your support keeps this global search as well as other key aspects of planetary defense going strong.
Together, we are working to avoid a natural disaster that we have the ability to prevent. Will you make a gift today to help defend humanity?
Take action to protect our planet with your gift of any amount today.
With gratitude,
Dr. Bruce Betts, Chief Scientist
The Planetary Society
