To help defend Earth from potentially hazardous asteroids and comets, we developed the #PlanetaryDefense Strategy & Action Plan. We’re eager to work with >@WHOSTP in implementing it. https://go.nasa.gov/3mI3MlZ
Note: There are no known asteroid impact threats for 100+ years.

RT by @NASA: At @NASA we have dedicated teams who watch the skies to make sure we are safe from hazardous asteroids.
Today's asteroid flyby is one of the closest ever recorded, but our #PlanetaryDefense experts have been tracking the asteroid and know it's not a threat to Earth.
Kia ora #astrodon #planetaryscience .
I like thinking about small worlds in the Solar System, #interstellar objects, how to find them and how to visit them; currently with #DARTmission learning more about #PlanetaryDefense .
On the local side of things planetary, musing about #spacesustainability, from rockets to satellites to dark skies.

tokumeiAsan RT @AsteroidWatch: Near-Earth #asteroid 1994 PC1 (~1 km wide) is very well known and has been studied for decades by our #PlanetaryDefense experts. Rest assured, 1994 PC1 will safely fly past our planet 1.2 million miles away next Tues., Jan. 18.

LIVE NOW: The #DARTmission is about to launch 🚀
This #PlanetaryDefense test is scheduled to lift off from @SLDelta30 at 1:21am ET (06:21 UTC) on its nearly one-year journey to crash into an asteroid. Send your questions with the hashtag #AskNASA. https://twitter.com/i/broadcasts/1dRKZloedWDJB

The upcoming movie “Don’t Look Up” is a fictional story about a doomsday comet, but our #DARTMission is a real spacecraft that will deflect a non-threatening asteroid as a test of #PlanetaryDefense.
Hear from director Adam McKay as he compares the two.

We've just opened the virtual @NASASocial for our upcoming #DARTMission!
Join us online for behind-the-scenes updates from NASA's first #PlanetaryDefense test mission before DART lifts off later this month: http://go.nasa.gov/3wGqZFO
#DARTmission #PlanetaryDefense
Our #DARTMission, the world’s 1st #PlanetaryDefense test mission, will crash into an asteroid far away from Earth to slightly change its motion.
🚀 The spacecraft is fueled, final tests are underway, & liftoff is set for Nov. 24 UTC. Get up to speed: https://go.nasa.gov/3nRAsG8
#DARTmission #PlanetaryDefense
We're crashing a spacecraft into an asteroid… on purpose! Our #DARTmission is a #PlanetaryDefense test to change the motion of an asteroid in space, so we could use this technique if an Earth-threatening asteroid were found. Watch Behind the Spacecraft: http://go.nasa.gov/2ZenQjS
