SHARE THIS AFTERNOON. RUSSIAN
AUTHORITIES ARE INVESTIGATING A

PEOPLE DEAD, AND THAT INCLUDES
11 CHILDREN. IT HAPPENED IN A
TOWN ABOUT 600 MILES EAST OF
MOSCOW. INVESTIGATORS SAY A 34
YEAR OLD MAN OPENED FIRE 24
OTHERS WERE INJURED. BEFORE THE
GUNMEN KILLED HIMSELF. HE WAS
REGISTERED AS A PATIENT AT A
PSYCHIATRIC FACILITY AND WAS
ALSO A GRADUATE FROM THE SAME
SCHOOL SPOKESPERSON SAYS
PRESIDENT VLADIMIR PUTIN IS
CALLING THE CRIME AND TERRORIST
ACT AND DEEPLY MOURNS THE DEATHS
OF THOSE INSIDE THE SCHOOL WERE
GETTING INTO CANADA ABOUT TO GET
MUCH EASIER AS THAT COUNTRY IS
READY TO EASE ITS COVID RULES AT
THE BORDER. THE CANADIAN
GOVERNMENT SAYS IT IS DROPPING
ALL COVID 19 MEASURES AND THAT
STARTS OCTOBER 1ST. THAT MEANS
TRAVELERS WILL WILL NOT HAVE TO
SHOW PROOF OF VACCINATION.
THERE’S NO MORE PRE OR ON
ARRIVAL. COVID TESTING AND
CANADA WON’T REQUIRE FACE MASKS
ON PLANES OR TRAINS ANY LONGER
RIGHT NOW, THE CDC SAYS CANADA
HAS A HIGH COVID 19 LEVEL AND
WARNS PEOPLE TO BE UP TO DATE ON
VACCINATIONS BEFORE ENTERING THE
COUNTRY. WELL TONIGHT THE BIG
BANG WILL BE SKYWARD AS NASA
DELIBERATELY CRASHES A ROCKET
INTO AN ASTEROID SOME 6.8
MILLION MILES FROM EARTH. NOW
THERE’S NO DANGER RIGHT NOW. BUT
THE HISTORIC MISSION IS ABOUT
PROTECTING OUR PLANET. ALL IT UP
MAN TALKED TO LOCAL SCIENTIST TO
GET A HANDLE ON WHAT’S REALLY AT
STAKE HERE. SO I’M NOT THE
ATCHISON PLANETARIUM ON THE
CRANBROOK CAMPUS, AND THIS IS A
GREAT PLACE TO ILLUSTRATE THIS
BECAUSE HERE’S THE BIG QUESTION.
WE ALL WANT TO KNOW HOW MANY
ASTEROIDS ARE THERE. REALLY THAT
CAN ACTUALLY DO DAMAGE TO THE
PLANET? WELL, THAT WE KNOW OF
MORE THAN 100 AND 50,000.
ASTEROIDS ARE CONSTANTLY
SWIRLING AROUND US NOW, IN TERMS
OF ONE’S BIG ENOUGH TO DO REAL
DAMAGE TO OUR PLANET. WELL THAT
WE KNOW OF THOSE ARE IN ORBIT
10,000 YEARS AWAY, BUT WE’VE GOT
TO START FIGURING THIS STUFF OUT
SOMETIME AND NOW IS AS GOOD A
TIME AS ANY. AND IF YOU THINK
THIS IS SOMETHING YOU DON’T NEED
TO BE CONCERNED ABOUT AT ALL.
JUST ASK THE DINOSAURS LIFTOFF
OF THE FALCON NINE AND DARK. ON
NASA’S FIRST PLANETARY DEFENSE
TEST TO INTENTIONALLY REFRESH
INTO AN ASTEROID MISSION OR THE
DOUBLE ASTEROID REDIRECTION TEST
WILL CRASH INTO DIME OR FOUS, A
SMALL MOON ORBITING THE NEAR
EARTH ASTEROID DIDYMUS AFTER
BEING LAUNCHED 10 MONTHS AGO, 10
MONTHS AGO. WHAT’S THE BIG WOLF
TODAY? WELL, IT’S 7 14. PM
EASTERN TIME. THE DELIBERATE
COLLISION COURSE. POPULAR
CASTALDI IS WITH THE PHYSICS
DEPARTMENT AT OAKLAND UNIVERSITY
. I THINK WE WILL SEE A BIG
BANGED OF THIS, YOU KNOW, AND SO
THE IMPACT SHOULD BE VERY, VERY
INTERESTING. NORWALK IS THE HEAD
OF ASTRONOMY AT THE CRANBROOK
INSTITUTE OF SCIENCE. ONE OF THE
QUESTIONS THAT WE GET ASKED HERE
ALL THE TIME IS ESPECIALLY SINCE
WE HAVE DINOSAURS ON DISPLAY IS
WHAT KILLED THE DINOSAURS. LET
ME TELL THEM IT’S MOST LIKELY AN
ASTEROID THAT HIT THE EARTH SOME
65 MILLION YEARS AGO. SO THEN
THE QUESTION INVARIABLY BECOMES
WELL. WHAT IF AN ASTEROID LIKE
THAT CAME BY NOW? UP UNTIL
RECENTLY, THE ANSWER WAS WELL.
NOT MUCH. WE KNOW JUST THE
IMPACT OF DART WILL CHANGE THE
TRAJECTORY AND THE DIRECTION OF
THE ASTEROID. BUT HERE’S WHAT WE
WON’T KNOW IMMEDIATELY. WILL THE
ROCKET HAD THE IMPACT OF A CAR
HITTING A CAR OR A TRUCK HITTING
A CAR? SO WHAT THIS PROBE IS
GOING TO DO IS GOING TO ACT LIKE
A CUE BALL, AND IT’S GOING TO
IMPACT THE ASTEROID AND THEY
WERE GOING TO MEASURE HOW DID
ITS MOTION CHANGED? IT WILL
DEFINITELY CHANGE JUST LIKE YOU
KNOW, WHEN TWO OBJECTS IMPACT
ONE ANOTHER, THEY DE’VEON ON THE
OTHER HAND, THAT THAN THE
DETAILS ARE NOT CLEAR BECAUSE IT
DEPENDS ON THE MASS. OKAY. I’M
SORRY. DO YOU HEAR THAT? THAT IS
THE SOUND OF ALL OF US. SPACE
GEEKS BASICALLY GEEK NG OUT OVER
THIS, BUT THE QUESTION ABOUT DO
I LOOK UP? WELL YOU CAN BUT
HONESTLY, EARTHBOUND TELESCOPES
EVEN THAT HECK OF BIG TELESCOPE
BEHIND ME WILL NOT CAPTURE THIS
IS TOO FAR AWAY. BUT HERE’S THE
GOOD NEWS, KAREN. OF COURSE,
NASA IS GOING TO DROP ALL KINDS
OF PICTURES AND DATA ON US. AND
SO A LOT OF US ARE REALLY,
REALLY EXCITED TO SEE WHAT THIS
THING LOOKS LIKE ALMOST SEVEN
MILLION MILES AWAY. IT SEEMS
LIKE THE MAKINGS OF A MOVIE
RIGHT? IT’S SO COOL. NOW THAT
MOVIE HAS BEEN MADE. ACTUALLY
THAT MOVIE HAS BEEN MADE THREE
OR FOUR TIMES THROUGH YOUR RIGHT
. THIS IS LIFE IMITATING ART.
