The Time is Now - The Planetary Society

Defend Earth Today!

As a supporter of The Planetary Society, YOU help sustain Planetary Defense as one of our core enterprises. To decrease the risk of Earth being hit by an asteroid or comet, together we:

Help observers find, track, and characterize near-Earth asteroids
Support the development of asteroid mitigation technology
Collaborate with the space community and decision-makers to develop international response strategies to defend Earth

An asteroid impact is one of the only large-scale natural disasters we can prevent, so we must keep advancing research and technology to make prevention possible. That’s why I’m asking for your help as a planetary defender.

Plus, this week only, your gift will be matched up to an additional $5,000 thanks to a FLASH MATCH CHALLENGE issued by a generous Planetary Society member who cares about planetary defense.

Asteroid strikes are rare but potentially catastrophic. The earlier we identify any threats, the more likely we are to prevent them. When a dangerous asteroid comes, let’s make sure we’re ready.

Thanks for being a Planetary Defender,
