Asteroid Day aims to raise public awareness about the asteroid impact hazard and to inform the public about the role they play in our solar system.
World Asteroid Day or International Asteroid Day is observed globally on June 30. Asteroid Day aims to raise public awareness about asteroid impact hazards and to inform the public about the crisis communication actions to be taken at the global level in case of a credible near-Earth object threat.
World Asteroid Day is observed globally each year on the anniversary of the Tunguska impact over Siberia, Russian Federation, on June 30, 1908, to raise public awareness about the asteroid impact hazard.
Asteroid Day was co-founded by astrophysicist and famed musician Dr. Brian May, of the rock group Queen, Apollo 9 astronaut Rusty Schweickart, Filmmaker Grig Richters, and B612 President Danica Remy, to promote awareness and provide knowledge to the public about the importance of asteroids in our solar system's history, and the role they play in our solar system today.
