Dr. Plait is host of the Discovery Channel?s ?Phil Plait?s Bad Universe,? a program exploring topics and misconceptions in astronomy with hands-on experiments.
In his presentation, ?Death From the Skies,? Dr. Plait will take a scientifically-based and fun look at giant impacts from asteroids and other cosmic objects, how these events have shaped history, how they may do so again in the future, and why Hollywood always seems to get them wrong.
