- TED Fellow Carrie Nugent is an asteroid hunter -- part of a group of scientists working to discover and catalog our oldest and most numerous cosmic neighbors. Why keep an eye out for asteroids? In this short, fact-filled talk, Nugent explains how their awesome impacts have shaped our planet, and how finding them at the right time could mean nothing less than saving life on Earth.

Haha, I love how nerdidly enthusiastic she is.
Sounds like you've had a rocky career.
Melkor you must be so proud of yourself
eru iluvatar has blessed you with humour, if nothing else, melkor!
actually sounds quite gneiss
i don't get it.
This flew 10km over my head.
You shouldn't take good scientists for granite.
Carrie Nugent was my pen pal when I was around 4 years old. Honestly, although I'm not as interested in astronomy as I once was, she is some internal reason that science is one of my favorite things in school, and honestly talking with her was some of the most memorable experiences of my life back then. She is a truly amazing person.
I love that simple smile she had that seem to convey her passion for her work.
Lots of awesome facts presented in a relatable way.
What a joylful face she has. Her talk was short but very interesting ! Thanks Mrs. Carrie Nugent.
Great talk! I had no idea that many asteroids were mapped and to that level of precision. Now I have to the book in hardcover. Thank you, Dr Nugent.
Great talk - thank you, Ms. Nugent.
Thnx for the info i really love how u put details accordingly
This is why I subbed to you Ted. Thank you for this brilliant piece of work
1:58 I know in my heart of heart this animation is grossly dramatic... but it still sends chills up my spine knowing we are in a chaotic and random space.
Finally some actual substantive content from TED again.
Great speaker and very informative! Loved it and I hope that I get to see more of Carrie's stuff in the future! And if anyone had bought her book, can you give me a quick review?
Thank you for your interesting lecture. I admire your passion for work! Well done.
Finally! A good video on TED!
Awesome presentation, Thank You
This fits nicely with Lisa Randall's Dark Matter and The Dinosaurs discussion. Carrie's animation of the known asteroids was wild!
Finally a subject with a great lecturer that's really important. It's so important that it affects every single living thing on the planet, even the planet itself.
TED, open comments on other videos! It is important to have a discussion about the raised issues!
Very concise, I liked it!
Really fascinating stuff
great talk!
This is a clever recruitment video. I imagine this being a fascinating profession and If I were more talented with math It would definietly be my dream/goal to work as an ''asteroid hunter''
Yeah But with a personal telescope I'm not very likely to find anything new
Did you just reply to your own comment?
Caleb Smith: Probably a deleted one or a comment made by a user who no longer exists.
Nice video. I'd like to see more of what they're doing. Seemed cool. I'd really like to know which asteroid will be the closest to hitting us in the up coming years.
Fantastic, a job invaluable to human race and planet earth.
amazing vid
4:30 I had to work it out and she was right 😄
Yes 4 science.
Hey nothing to do with this video but the next one has the comments blocked and no like ratio, is it just another one of "those videos"
Generic Name yeah it is...
Alan Finnin what are "those videos"??!
Great talk,much appreciating your work to protect us from deadly asteroids 😨,is there any aliens up there?
What about a shaped charge made of array of thermonuclear devices/ If somebody understands what do i mean
Is she Emily Graslie's doppelganger?
I mean they have quite similair voices, appearance and nerdy enthousiasm. It's uncanny
Yes.
what is the total estimated mass of all known asteroids entering earths atmosphere in 2017?
Smart, cute, and nerdy!
slap happy dot com?
she reminds me of emily graslie!
there should be more comments here... I`d say
while it's cool that TED is giving attention to the subject of cosmic impacts and invites people like this to speak on the subject, it would probably be much more important to invite speakers like Randall Carlson to speak on the very same subject. A lot more people would tune in...
How can I become like her please so as.
just came here to see if someone has something to say about the new video
I didnt see the new videos, now i saw the newest one about womens sexual pleasure or something, then I look at the videos and see this one before, thought they made two feminist videos in a row but no, this video was amazing and it actually won the respect that I lost after ai watched the first video. Amazing
How can they be certain 25% of asteroids larger than 140m were found? Do they know the total mass of asteroids out there? Or is it just an estimation?
probably just an estimation.
Not "just' but based on sampling and ideas about formation of the solar system
She has the corporal language of Brick from The Middle
Adorable nerdy... rare combination
So if we find an asteroid on a collision course with earth, how do we nudge it? I'm guessing we send Bruce Willis to nuke it in a blaze of glory.
It depends how long before impact we detect it. If there is enough time, we'll just send a spacecraft to it and put it in a parallel trajectory. The mass (=gravity) of the spacecraft will exert a tiny amount of force on the asteroid, nudging it out of harm's way.
Furthermore, this asteroid did break up a month later lucky for us. You can watch it on CZcams by querying p/2013 R3.
She goes from high pitch voice to not all the time :D
Why m I so late??
Okay she is wicked smart and extremely cute, if science needed a model she should be it.😂
Amy Mainzer. Mic drop.
hey that's is mine

Breathe. Breeeeeathe. And bullshit that was a U.F.O
What's bernadette wolowitz doing on this
Why are asteroids warm? Is that just the sun warming it up?
Weird, I heard Neill Degrass say that the sun is 98%as powerful on earth as in space. Or does the high velocity of the object have anything to do with the amount of radiation it catches? Or does it depend on the duration that it's catching light? I definately wouldn't expect it to get warmer than 150 degrees C (if it's a black object, comparing it to how warm it gets in the desert)
Ah yea you're right, they are all fairly close. I was thinking about Pluto's meteorites all the time :D. thx
...😍😍
Finally some science, after the cisgendernormativeintersectionalpatriarchal finger pointing rethoric. Carrie Nugent is an example of how you destroy biases, doing actual work.
There, there Alvaro. You'll get better. No need to throw a tantrum
Thanks, i appreciate it coming from you Brenda, you always know how to make me feel better.
Everyone needs to watch Joe Rogan Experience with Graham Hancock & Randall Carlson. They talk more about this subject.
Thanks, I don't usually get my news from the host of Fear Factor, but thanks.
Think Floyd dude. just go there and watch something. learn things.
why is it that the comments are enabled for this video (and every other Ted talks video ive seen) but the next video "what women believe about their sexual pleasure" the comments are disabled...INTERESTING??? Maybe they don't wanna acknowledge that men go through a lot of the same things in their sexual identity?
Ryan Bussey because they dont want to get called out for their bullshit
#اصحاب_ثنيان الي جاي من ثنيان لايك
is this "person" a robot?
IS THE EARTH FLAT?
Nope. Next!
Markus Rock no
Yes. Prof Alex Jones confirmed this to be true.
Markus Rock, The earth is only flat on the top in the middle it's round. 😜🌎☄️
Russian roulette backfires on DEMOcRATS Doo do mau! doodo mau! BANG!
Hey did you notice how on the next video they forbid all the commenting and likeing/dislikeing? TEDx feminist crapshit
second!
VCG Construction sloppy!
VCG Construction thats all you have to offer? Second? Thats probably how long you watched this for.
Stop this feminist bullsh... Ow, wait. Finally an actual science vid by a woman. And a good one as well!
Yurriaan Van Duyn Feminism is still necessary.
Haazen Modern feminism is cancer
57harrierstrikes what is it that annoys you so much about feminism?
+Stragemque It's also a "movement" that loves to base itself squarely out of fact (see: the wage gap) and then seeks to run anyone who goes against it.
Yurriaan Van Duyn *Looks at new video* *more garbage w/ comments and like/dislike disabled* TED is going full dumbass real quick don't worry. They came out of their bubble for a brief moment before returning to their downward spiral toward intellectual demise.
Just when I thought Ted couldn't be any dumber, they go ahead and get someone like this, AND TOTALLY REDEEM THEMSELVES.
She's HOT!!
Its a meteorite not an asteroid...
princessofswanlexia this is literally her job...
Payton Duke the thing in her hand is a meteorite. Its passed through the Earths atmosphere and landed on Earth. Hence the internal structure and external crust. It may have been an asteroid once (whilst in space, which is what she looks for) but since we have never had a sample return from an asteroid that thing is not an asteroid. Source: Im an astrophysicist also working on asteroids...
princessofswanlexia that's my bad then. Maybe she just said that for people like me who know nothing and would be confused if she just started calling it different things. Again, sorry!
