Topic of Conversation:

Your scenario describing how the interaction between minor objects of Solar System and giant planets causes useful and harmful consequences for our life/future.  

After reading Ch 12, recalling Ch 11 and keeping in mind the recent Rosetta’s mission completed after nearly 57 hours on Comet 67P/ Churumov-Gerasimenko, write the scenario where you need  describe and compare 

1. The roles of minor objects in delivering substances forming the Solar System and as the sources of relevant information from outer space.

2. How important is this information and for what? What is the difference between this information and expected results of your last space program? What is the same?

3. What is the role of giant planets in  the interaction with  minor objects of outer space and inner Solar System that may affect your life positively and negatively. What are these pluses and minuses that may affect your life, its progress and regress?

4. What role in you scenario would play Pluto ? Would it be the same role as in your space program for jovian planets where you investigated the effect of orbiting resonance or different effects ?

5. What physical laws help you determine the parametrs of asteroids (temperatire, brightness, trajectory)?

6. Use in your scenario the real dates (take from internet) of the closest appoaching of comets and asteroids to the Earth’s orbit.
