About this Event
Ryan French will speak about and sign his new book, Space Hazards: A Comprehensive Guide to Asteroids, Solar Flares, Space Junk, and Other Cosmic Threats to Life on Earth, on Thursday, April 2nd at 6:30pm, at Boulder Bookstore.
About the Book:
Earth is not isolated in outer space, but surrounded by an array of potentially hazardous objects within our own solar system and beyond. Although none of these objects provide any immediate threat to life, it is the work of scientists around the world to continue monitoring the presence and potential risk of these threats.
Dr. Ryan French explores the science of multiple space hazards and discusses the probability and potential impacts of each of them. Topic covered include: Asteroids & near-Earth objects, Space weather, Earth polarity flips, Space junk, stellar and black hole collisions.
