Asteroids – Planetary Building Blocks
• Asteroids has come to refer specifically to
the small celestial of bodies which are
usually rocky and/or metallic
• The majority of known asteroids are
found between the orbits of Mars and
Jupiter
Asteroids – Planetary Building Blocks
• Trojan
–Asteroids that share an orbit with a
large planet or moon
–Example:
Jupiter Trojans
Asteroids – Planetary Building Blocks
SEATWORK A
What does the picture tell you
about the probability of an
asteroid colliding with any of the
planets near it? Explain briefly
NEAs
• Near – Earth Asteroid
• 7075 NEAs already found
• 500 to 1000 of them at least 1 km in
diameter
• Cretaceous – Paleogene; 66 million years
– dinosaurs become extinct
NEAs
• Tunguska Event of 1908
–Massive explosion that caused the
destruction of an estimated 80 million
trees in an area of more than 2 000
sq.m
–Explosive force is estimated to have
been 1 000 times than that of the
atomic bomb dropped in Horishima
NEAs
• Tunguska Event of 1908
–Estimated was about 38 m in diameter
NAMING ASTEROIDS
• First asteroid was discovered in 1801
(910 km across) named Ceres - a roman
goddess of agriculture; Pallas, Juno and
Vesta
NAMING ASTEROIDS
• At first, Latin names were given to
asteroids
Example:
8 Flora
17 Tbetis
Eight Asteroids named after Filipinos
(IAU)
• 6282 Edwelda – Edwin Aguirre and
Imelda Joson (1985)
• 11697 Estrella – Allan Noriel Estrella
• 12088 Macalintal – Jeric Valles Macalintal
• 12522 Rara – Prem Vilas Fortan M. Rara
Eight Asteroids named after Filipinos
(IAU)
• 13241 Biyo – Dr. Josette T. Biyo
• 4866 Badillo – Victor L. Badillo
• 6636 Kintanar – Dr. Roman Lucero
Kintanar
• 28439 Miguelreyes – Miguel Arnold
Reyes
SEATWORK B
Express your aspirations and future career
plans and how you can make your mark,
however small, in other people’s lives?
Asteroids as Source of Metals
• Asteroids that are big enough to land
spaceship is called planetoids
• Rich in iron, nickel and other metals
Comets – Occasional Visitors
COMETS
• Basically dusty snowballs which orbit the
sun
• Contain CO2, NH3, CH4 and other
compounds
FAMOUS COMETS
• HALLEY’S COMMETS
–Appears only once every 75 to 76 years
–It was seen again in 1758, 1835, 1910
and 1986
–Predicted to be appear again in 2061
–Periodic comet
FAMOUS COMETS
• Sir Edmond Halley
• Using Mathematical calculations
• Observed in 1682
• Died 1742
COMETS
• Superstitious beliefs:
–A sign of bud luck
–Happily welcomed as messengers of
the gods
–End of the world
–Calamity and war
SEATWORK C
• Read the article Sci Bit page 167
• Are there scientific pieces of evidence
that support this superstition?
INSIDE THE COMETS
COMETS COLLIDING WITH THE
PLANETS
• Collision were more common
• July 1944 – comet shoemaker – levy 9
broke up into pieces and collide with the
Jupiter
• Created a giant brown spot that was
almost the size of earth (12 000km)
NAMING OF COMETS
• Visible in the Philippines
– Halley’s comet
– Comet Ikeya Seki
– Comet Kohoutek
– Comet west
– Comet Hale – bopp
– Comets McNaught and Holmes
QUIZ
Make a Venn diagram to compare and
contrast an asteroids and a comet
Work in Pairs
Meteoroids
METEOROIDS
• Fragments of rocky material with similar
composition as a terrestrial planets
• Very tiny meteoroid are known as
micrometeoroids – referred cosmic dust
• Do not emit any light of their own, but
merely reflect the light of the sun just like
the moon

No visible path or tail
Visible tail or path of the
meteoroid as it enters
Earth’s atmosphere
Hits Earth and survives
the impact
Evidence of the impact
of a meteorite that hit
Earth
Other Info
• Meteors that appear to glow brighter
than planets are called fireballs
Other Info
• When fireballs explode, they are called
bolides

Space Rocks

  • 1. Collision with near-earth asteroids can cause planet wide devastation, which is why asteroids are watched by astronomers
  • 3. Asteroids – Planetary Building Blocks • Asteroids has come to refer specifically to the small celestial of bodies which are usually rocky and/or metallic • The majority of known asteroids are found between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter
  • 4. Asteroids – Planetary Building Blocks • Trojan –Asteroids that share an orbit with a large planet or moon –Example: Jupiter Trojans
  • 5. Asteroids – Planetary Building Blocks
  • 6. SEATWORK A What does the picture tell you about the probability of an asteroid colliding with any of the planets near it? Explain briefly
  • 7.
  • 8. NEAs • Near – Earth Asteroid • 7075 NEAs already found • 500 to 1000 of them at least 1 km in diameter • Cretaceous – Paleogene; 66 million years – dinosaurs become extinct
  • 9. NEAs • Tunguska Event of 1908 –Massive explosion that caused the destruction of an estimated 80 million trees in an area of more than 2 000 sq.m –Explosive force is estimated to have been 1 000 times than that of the atomic bomb dropped in Horishima
  • 10. NEAs • Tunguska Event of 1908 –Estimated was about 38 m in diameter
  • 11. NAMING ASTEROIDS • First asteroid was discovered in 1801 (910 km across) named Ceres - a roman goddess of agriculture; Pallas, Juno and Vesta
  • 12. NAMING ASTEROIDS • At first, Latin names were given to asteroids Example: 8 Flora 17 Tbetis
  • 13. Eight Asteroids named after Filipinos (IAU) • 6282 Edwelda – Edwin Aguirre and Imelda Joson (1985) • 11697 Estrella – Allan Noriel Estrella • 12088 Macalintal – Jeric Valles Macalintal • 12522 Rara – Prem Vilas Fortan M. Rara
  • 14. Eight Asteroids named after Filipinos (IAU) • 13241 Biyo – Dr. Josette T. Biyo • 4866 Badillo – Victor L. Badillo • 6636 Kintanar – Dr. Roman Lucero Kintanar • 28439 Miguelreyes – Miguel Arnold Reyes
  • 15. SEATWORK B Express your aspirations and future career plans and how you can make your mark, however small, in other people’s lives?
  • 16. Asteroids as Source of Metals • Asteroids that are big enough to land spaceship is called planetoids • Rich in iron, nickel and other metals
  • 18.
  • 19. COMETS • Basically dusty snowballs which orbit the sun • Contain CO2, NH3, CH4 and other compounds
  • 20. FAMOUS COMETS • HALLEY’S COMMETS –Appears only once every 75 to 76 years –It was seen again in 1758, 1835, 1910 and 1986 –Predicted to be appear again in 2061 –Periodic comet
  • 21. FAMOUS COMETS • Sir Edmond Halley • Using Mathematical calculations • Observed in 1682 • Died 1742
  • 22. COMETS • Superstitious beliefs: –A sign of bud luck –Happily welcomed as messengers of the gods –End of the world –Calamity and war
  • 23. SEATWORK C • Read the article Sci Bit page 167 • Are there scientific pieces of evidence that support this superstition?
  • 25. COMETS COLLIDING WITH THE PLANETS • Collision were more common • July 1944 – comet shoemaker – levy 9 broke up into pieces and collide with the Jupiter • Created a giant brown spot that was almost the size of earth (12 000km)
  • 26. NAMING OF COMETS • Visible in the Philippines – Halley’s comet – Comet Ikeya Seki – Comet Kohoutek – Comet west – Comet Hale – bopp – Comets McNaught and Holmes
  • 27. QUIZ Make a Venn diagram to compare and contrast an asteroids and a comet Work in Pairs
  • 29. METEOROIDS • Fragments of rocky material with similar composition as a terrestrial planets • Very tiny meteoroid are known as micrometeoroids – referred cosmic dust • Do not emit any light of their own, but merely reflect the light of the sun just like the moon
  • 30. METEOROIDS • Fragments of rocky material with similar composition as a terrestrial planets • Very tiny meteoroid are known as micrometeoroids – referred cosmic dust • Do not emit any light of their own, but merely reflect the light of the sun just like the moon
  • 31. METEOROIDS • Fragments of rocky material with similar composition as a terrestrial planets • Very tiny meteoroid are known as micrometeoroids – referred cosmic dust • Do not emit any light of their own, but merely reflect the light of the sun just like the moon
  • 32. No visible path or tail Visible tail or path of the meteoroid as it enters Earth’s atmosphere Hits Earth and survives the impact
  • 33. Evidence of the impact of a meteorite that hit Earth
  • 34. Other Info • Meteors that appear to glow brighter than planets are called fireballs
  • 35. Other Info • When fireballs explode, they are called bolides
  • 36. ACTIVITY FISHBOWL (QUESTION AND ANSWER) COVERAGE - Earthquake - Typhoon - Space rocks
