There is a lot of natural debris in space. Depending on their path's composition and locations, they have been assigned different names. They are mostly harmless. Find out what they are, how they affect the earth and what NASA is doing to study them. NASA Solar Ambassador Regina Conrad will discuss the NASA Missions Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) and Near-Earth Object Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (NEOWISE). Conrad started as a weekend planetarium educator in 2005 at the Andrus Planetarium in the Hudson River Museum, in New York after her first total solar eclipse. In 2011, she was invited to speak regularly at the Stamford Museum & Nature Center before the Friday Night Observation. Now retired, Conrad is a Solar System Ambassador and a part-time library program coordinator in New Hampshire.
