The dangers our planet faces from near-Earth objects (NEOs) are the focus of The Planetary Society's Target Earth program. From our Apophis Mission Design Competition and our campaign to save the Arecibo telescope's radar tracking of NEOs to the Society's ongoing Gene Shoemaker Near-Earth Object Grants, we're helping to prepare Earth to avoid disaster from the skies.
Show that you're part of the Stardust@home team of volunteer investigators with our exclusive Dusters shirt. In 2006, the Stardust spacecraft captured the first particles from distant stars and brought them back to Earth. But before scientists can study these precious samples from the faraway Sun, they will first have to find them. Stardust@home turned to tens of thousands of "dusters" who have been volunteering time and energy searching for evidence of these tiny pieces of star stuff. Are you a duster? Do you want to be? We have more online at planetary.org/stardustathome/.
