  19. Cape Fear School H.S.

  20. Star-gazing students on lookout…Four from Cordova H.S. honored for spotting 'Killer Asteroids'

  21. Broad Run H.S. Ashburn, VA In the Sky, Broad Run Students Find 'Sparta' Spartans spend part of semester confirming asteroids, lending a hand to science! The students were credited with the discovery of asteroid 2007 TW04, which they have begun calling "Sparta" in honor of the Broad Run Spartans.

  22. Thomas Jefferson H.S. Alexandria, VA Lee Ann Hennig awarded outstanding teacher of the year in NEO Observations Local students at Thomas Jefferson High School recently received NASA research awards for measuring Potentially Hazardous Asteroids for NASA and the Killer Asteroid Project.

  23. American Fork H.S. - Utah Bryce Tholl looks at a stellar image on a laptop in the astronomy classroom at American Fork H.S. A.F. students discover asteroid!

  24. Killer Asteroid Project • Schools, teachers and students receive NASA awards. • Real hands-on research in the classroom. • User friendly software has a rapid learning curve. • NEO observations using near real-time images. • Published results in the IAUCs and MPECs. • 89% success rate using ARO near earth object images. • Teachers and students observations help NASA safeguard the Earth from potentially hazardous asteroids.

  25. School and Student Awards Over 450 Awards Presented to 60+ Schools in 9 Countries

  26. Killer Asteroid Project Outstanding Teacher and Top Asteroid Discovery Awards

  27. Killer Asteroid Project The Future of Near Earth Object Observations

  28. Tunguska Blast 15 Pak A powerful dietary supplement developed as a result of the miracle of 1908 in Tunguska, Russia. A powerful event creates a powerful product. Tunguska Blast is made from thousands of herbs, roots, and fruits reborn from the ashes of the mysterious Tunguska Event, scientists identified the ten most concentrated with therapeutic properties and natural nutritional benefits.

  29. The Tunguska Event Evidence of the mysterious blast 13 years after the cataclysmic explosion Early on the morning of June 30, 1908, a massive explosion shook central Siberia. Tunguska asteroid may have been only 30 to 50 meters across, had air shock waves which toppled 80 million trees.

  30. In 1989 a killer asteroid 300m in diameter missed the Earth by only 6 hours… And we never saw it coming!

  31. Killer Asteroid Project In 2029 Apophis will miss Earth by only 2.08 hours! When Apophis returns in 2036 Will the clock tick down to zero?

  32. Killer Asteroid Project Will your students take up computers to DEFEND the HOME PLANET? www.killerasteroidproject.org stars@astro-research.org
