In 2004 scientists discovered a large, near-earth asteroid named Apophis. Initially, it was predicted to impact the earth in 2029, leading to global devastation. Thankfully, it’s now expected to miss. Physicist Marina Brozovic from NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory explains how her team used measurements and statistics to track the potentially catastrophic mass.

As a physicist at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Marina Brozovic studies and measures near-earth asteroids—you know, the ones that can potentially cause catastrophic damage. Watch as Brozovic explains how her team tracks the orbit of these large masses and how NASA would prepare if one were to come barreling towards earth.

WIRED's Robbie Gonzalez spoke with Cathy Plesko from the Los Alamos National Laboratory, to find out how we would respond to an incoming collision. Would nuclear detonations work? What does a "City Killer" look like? Would impact in the water be worse than impact on land? Find out more from Plesko.

What will happen once "The Big One" hits? Lucy Jones, a seismologist who studies natural disasters, breaks down the impact a large earthquake would have on society, explaining what causes earthquakes, and what we can do to prevent major catastrophes in the event of a massive temblor.
