Earth at risk. The impact of asteroids and comets

Josep M. Trigo Rodríguez
The risk of asteroids impacting the Earth has led to the development of new detectors, space missions and telescopes that make it possible to catalogue and study their nature. Two centuries ago these rocky objects began to be discovered in the main belt between Mars and Jupiter, and in recent decades thousands of them have been located in the near-Earth region, some 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 planet. This book offers reading keys to learn how scientists are trying to deflect asteroids and thus safeguard life on Earth.
