Did You Know❓

  • The asteroid that caused the Tunguska event was about 50–60 meters wide.
  • Scientists track thousands of near-Earth objects to predict their paths.
  • Space missions like NASA’s DART aim to test deflecting asteroids in the future.


How Can We Celebrate?

✅ Watch a documentary or video on asteroids and space missions.
✅ Attend an astronomy event or visit a science museum.
✅ Talk to kids about space and encourage interest in science careers.


Looking at the stars can help us protect our home. Let’s keep exploring and learning from the skies above.
