The Earth is constantly bombarded by asteroids and comets, making it a target for impacts large and small.
At February’s Classes Without Quizzes lecture, Peter Brown, Physics and Astronomy associate professor at Western, will discuss the threat these extraterrestrial impacts pose, and how they also offer researchers unparalleled opportunities to better understand our solar system and how it formed.
The lecture, titled “Target Earth: Impacts Large and Small” takes place on Tuesday, Feb. 9 at the Medway Community Centre, Sherwood Forest Square, Wonderland Road North, London. Doors open at 6:30 p.m. and the lecture begins at 7 p.m.
“Classes without Quizzes” is a complimentary lecture series for the community offered by The University of Western Ontario. Listen to topical, entertaining and insightful monthly lectures by some of Western’s leading faculty, each taking place in different London locations.
