Marina Brozović PhD / interior of Goldstone radio dish antennaMarina Brozović PhD of NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory studies radar signals to understand the size, speed and location of asteroids in the IMAX® film Asteroid Hunters. Data collected from the Goldstone radio dish antenna is used to track large, high-risk asteroids.

NEOWISE space telescopeThe NEOWISE astronomical space telescope, seen in the IMAX® film Asteroid Hunters, assists scientists in locating near-Earth asteroids (NEOs) and comets. Using infrared light as it hunts for and finds asteroids by the heat they emit, it reveals objects in space like never-before.
