Karin Anderson Discusses Impact!: Asteroids and the Science of Saving the World

Hey there, as promised we’re back with another entertaining and insightful episode of the Reading with Your Kids Podcast. In today’s episode, we had the chance to meet and interview Karin Anderson, a passionate storyteller, photography editor and a writer of her first non-fiction title with author Elizabeth Rusch – Impact! Asteroids and the Science of Saving the World – debuted November 2017.

Impact is a fascinating book that look at the technologies proposed to protect Earth from a major impact with vivid photographs by Karin. In our exciting interview, Karin discusses her collaboration with  award-winning nonfiction author and her childhood friend Elizabeth Rusch for a meteorite hunt, to the edge of an impact crater to survey past damage, into a geology lab to examine space rocks, and to an observatory where telescopes probe the vastness of space, searching for asteroids on a collision course with Earth. We’re sure you’ll enjoy listening to Karin and her fascinating story as we much enjoyed hearing about it!

Asteroids bombard our atmosphere all the time. Some are harmless, burning up in a flash of light. But others explode with a great sonic boom, smashing windows and throwing people to the ground. Worst of all, some asteroids strike our planet, blasting out massive craters and destroying everything nearby on impact.
