Asteroids Comets and Near Earth Object event image

**PLEASE NOTE THIS IS A VIRTUAL PROGRAM THAT WILL TAKE PLACE VIA ZOOM. Registrants will receive a link to access the Zoom Meeting via email.**

There is a lot of natural debris in space. Depending on their paths composition and locations, they have been assigned different names. They are mostly harmless. Find out what they are, how they effect the earth and what NASA is doing to study them. NASA Solar Ambassador Regina Conrad will discuss the NASA Missions Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) and Near-Earth Object Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (NEOWISE). Conrad started as a weekend planetarium educator in 2005 at the Andrus Planetarium in the Hudson River Museum, in New York after her first total soar eclipse. In 2011, she was invited to speak regularly at the Stamford Museum & Nature Center before the Friday Night Observation. Now retired, Conrad is a Solar System Ambassador and a part-time library program coordinator in New Hampshire.

Register directly on Zoom HERE. Sponsored by the Friends of the Tewksbury Library. This virtual event is a collaboration between the libraries in Andover and Tewksbury.
