Asteroids have been studied since the beginning of the 19th century, but the potential danger that they pose has been appreciated only recently.
Dr Wynn-Williams will discuss the evidence for historical asteroid impacts, as well as the astronomical surveys that are now being undertaken to find potentially hazardous objects in the Solar System.
Gareth Wynn-Williams is an Emeritus Professor of Astronomy at University of Hawaii, and co-founder of Honolulu Science Cafe. He earned his PhD at Cambridge University.
