"Meteors: Fire In The Sky"

Meteors, comets, and asteroids cross the solar system, providing clues about our planet and universe. Can they destroy civilizations? Did they wipe out the dinosaurs? Have they brought life to our planet? And when will the next one hit? Aided by elaborate animation and live-action footage, this documentary shows what these mysterious space rocks really are and imagine what likely happened 65-million years ago, when an object plowed into the Yucatan Peninsula. It explains how certain spectacular meteor falls advanced our understanding of what they are and the danger that they pose. Leading experts are interviewed--astronomers and geologists including David Levy and Carolyn Shoemaker, co-discoverers of the Shoemaker-Levy comet that fell into Jupiter in 1994, and NASA scientists describe recent missions to asteroids and comets and speculate on ways to move Earth-threatening asteroids and comets out of our way.
