Rusch, Elizabeth Impact! Asteroids and the Science of Saving
the World (Scientists in the Field), 63 pages.
Houghton Mifflin, 2017. $19.
Did you know that one hundred tons of space rock land on
Earth every single day? But since most
of it is dust, we hardly ever notice it.
But there are hundreds of scientists all over the world working hard to
detect and possibly deflect earth-shattering asteroids from hitting us and
causing an era-ending catastrophe like the one that ended the dinosaurs.
Rusch
introduces us to a few of the people and much of the science that surrounds
learning about and keeping us safe from asteroids. Introduce your students to excellent
information about scientists, male and female, working in this space science
field.
