But asteroids, comets, and meteorites do fall to Earth every day. In recent years, none have been of a significant enough size to cause great damage. However, it is theorized that a space object was responsible for the extinction of dinosaurs 65 million years ago. Readers will explore whether or not such an event could threaten life on Earth again, learn how scientists monitor asteroids and other space objects, and learn some theoretical plans to avoid a global catastrophe.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Michael Portman\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1433982676\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781433982675\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Gareth Stevens Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/16\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 32\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Library Binding\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.55lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.60h x 8.60w x 0.30d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eSchool Library Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/01\/2013 pg. 99","brand":"Michael Portman","offers":[{"title":"Library Binding","offer_id":48485164581119,"sku":"9781433982675","price":29.27,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_36e668db-13be-413e-a944-1279c58498a9.jpg?v=1778048348","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/could-an-asteroid-harm-earth-michael-portman-9781433982675","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
