Could we ‘catch’ a comet before it hits Earth? | Rosita Kokotanekova | TEDxVitosha
TEDx Talks· 2025-07-27 17:01
Space Exploration & Comet Research - A comet, traveling at 25,000 kilometers per hour, is approaching the solar system and will be targeted by the Comet Interceptor mission [1][3] - The Comet Interceptor mission, funded by the European Space Agency in collaboration with the Japanese Space Agency, aims to study a comet coming close to the sun for the first time [3][24] - Comets are believed to have delivered organics and water to Earth, crucial for the formation of life, but also pose a threat of impacts [12][13][14] - Missions to processed comets have limitations, necessitating a mission to an unchanged comet from the Oort cloud, which contains hundreds of billions or even trillions of comets [23][24][25] - The Comet Interceptor mission will park in a stable orbit, wait for a suitable comet, and then intercept it for a few hours to collect data [29][30][31][32] Planetary Defense & Space Mission Strategy - The mission aims to test the strategy of parking in space until a target is identified, which could be used for planetary defense against hazardous objects [33][34] - Developing instruments for space exploration is a time-consuming task, requiring years or even decades of rigorous testing [27] Scientific Significance - Asteroids and comets are relics from the early solar system, with asteroids forming closer to the sun and comets forming in the outer solar system [7] - Studying comets can provide insights into the materials from the outer solar system, where ice is preserved [22]

I want you to close your eyes and imagine you're standing on a quiet beach. The waves are touching your feet. Only this time, the beach is gone.The oceans have crept into cities, swallowed islands, and rewritten the map of our world. Rising sea levels fueled by surging temperatures are not a distant threat. They are already here.And as we wrestle with this growing problem, let me ask you, what if the answer isn't only here on Earth. What if our hope, our survival, maybe even the next great story of humans i ...
