This is my video for launching our Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths (STEM) week at Honywood Community Science School. There'll be plenty of activities to go with this theme, including pupils voting for who should be saved. Who would you save if you had to go and colonise another planet? I take no credit for any of the video clips I have used; I just cobbled them together from other sources including Horizon (BBC) and the excellent Discovery Channel asteroid impact video. I totally pinched their idea for using "Great Gig in the Sky" by Pink Floyd.

The Dawn spacecraft will employ ion propulsion to explore two of the asteroid belt's most intriguing and dissimilar occupants: asteroid Vesta and the dwarf planet Ceres. Dawn's goal is to characterize the conditions and processes of the solar system's earliest epoch by investigating in detail two of the largest protoplanets remaining intact since their formations. Ceres and Vesta reside in the extensive zone between Mars and Jupiter together with many other smaller bodies, called the asteroid belt. Each has followed a very different evolutionary path constrained by the diversity of processes that operated during the first few million years of solar system evolution. Dawn has much to offer...

Asteroid Zooms by Earth January 29, 2008 As expected, Asteroid 2007 TU24 made its closest approach to Earth at 12:33 am today, Jan. 29 (3:33 am Eastern time), and is now headed away from our planet. At its closest point, the asteroid was 554209 kilometers (344370 miles) from Earth, or roughly 1.4 times the distance between the moon and Earth. Scientists at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, Calif. had tracked the asteroid in advance and determined that there was no possibility of an impact. The rare close approach is providing a bonanza for scientists, who plan to scrutinize images and data gathered in hopes of learning more about our solar system's closest neighbors - near-Earth...

From the acclaimed Science Screen Report DVD series, provided to schools nationwide free of charge since 1970. Between Mars and Jupiter is the asteroid belt. Every so often, asteroids collide and tumble towards the Sun. If they pass Mars, they can be drawn towards Earth, sometimes colliding. Sixty-five million years ago an asteroid impact may have been the cause of the climate change that killed the dinosaurs. Jupiter is the largest planet in our solar system. It is a ball of gas with no solid surface. Regal Jupiter is orbited by more than 60 moons of which four are large enough to be small planets

Scientists believe a massive asteroid is the most likely explanation for the extinction of the dinosaurs. However, if an asteroid did wipe out all species of dinosaur there should be a 200 km crater somewhere on the planet. Scientists hunt for this asteroid evidence in this video from BBC show 'What Really Killed the Dinosaurs?'.
