Earth at risk. The impact of asteroids and comets

Josep M. Trigo Rodríguez
The risk of asteroids impacting the Earth has favored the development of new detectors, space missions and telescopes that allow cataloging and studying nature. Two centuries ago, these rocky objects began to be discovered in the main belt between Mars and Jupiter, and in the last decades thousands have been discovered in the region close to Earth, some of them potentially dangerous. Earth at Risk explains how these minor planets and comets arrive, how often they do so, whether there is evidence of major collisions, what consequences they have had, and to what extent they have contributed to the formation of the Earth. This book offers reading keys to learn how scientists try to deflect asteroids and thus safeguard life on Earth.
