X-WR-CALDESC:Join the NASA Night Sky Network on Tuesday\, September 21 at 6
 :00pm Pacific Time (9:00pm Eastern) to hear Dr. Paul Abell share with us p
 lans for the DART mission to demonstrate a technique to change the motion 
 of an asteroid in space.\n\nThis presentation will provide some background
  on potentially hazardous asteroids\, recent Earth impacts\, and NASA’s ac
 tivities to help protect Earth from asteroids. The presentation will descr
 ibe NASA’s Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) mission as well as shar
 e information on the European Space Agency’s (ESAs) Hera mission. DART wil
 l be the first demonstration of the kinetic impactor technique to change t
 he motion of an asteroid in space. \n\n-----------------------------------
 -------\n\nAbout Dr. Paul Abell\nDr. Paul Abell is the Chief Scientist for
  Small Body Exploration within the Astromaterials Research and Exploration
  Science Division at the Johnson Space Center. His main areas of interest 
 are physical characterization of near-Earth objects (NEOs) via ground-base
 d and spacecraft observations\, examination of NEOs for future robotic and
  human exploration\, and identification of potential resources within the 
 NEO population for future in situ utilization. Abell has been studying pot
 entially hazardous asteroids and near-Earth objects for over 15 years and 
 is an investigation team member on NASA’s Double Asteroid Redirection Test
  (DART) mission.\n\nRegistration\nNight Sky Network members can pregister 
 for this webinar through the event’s Outreach Resource page (login require
 d).\nFurther Information and Additional Viewing Options\n\nThe event will 
 also be streaming live on YouTube\, but please note that questions asked o
 ver the NSN-members-only Zoom Q&A will be prioritized.\n\nThe recording wi
