SETI Talk: Planetary Defense: Long Period Comets
Together with my team, we gave a talk on how we can provide more warning time in case a long-period comet happens to be in a collision trajectory with Earth. .
Searching for Long Period Comets with Deep Learning at NASA and SETI
In planetary defence (yes! there is such a thing, where scientists and engineers try to defend the planet from hazards), long-period comets are recognized as the potentially most devastating threat. However, any new comet on an impact trajectory would likely only be discovered about one year before impact. The goal of this project is to add years of extra warning time by providing comet searchers directions on where to look for comets when they are still far out. To aid and guide a dedicated …
