Conference to protect the anti-meteorite planet hit Earth
On March 5, 2007 Planetary Conference opened in the United States to discuss measures to protect the Earth against the risk of colliding with cosmic objects.
Organized at George Washington University in Washington, USA, Planetary Defense Conference lasts March 5-8, under the auspices of 13 international organizations. aerospace and aerospace sector, including the American Aeronautics and Astronautics Institute (AIAA).
The purpose of this conference is to assess the understanding of the risk of colliding between the Earth and the cosmic object, considering the human's current ability to discover and track objects near the Earth (Near Earth Objects-NEO). Since then, the scientific community will analyze the limits in the ability to deflect dangerous objects.

The conference will focus on discussing key issues such as : Methods of detecting and defining characteristics of objects capable of threatening the Earth; technical measures to deflect the direction of movement of a dangerous object; possible consequences if a cosmic object hits the Earth; How to prepare to deal with a collision may occur.
At the same time, scientists will also discuss political, policy and legal issues that affect the implementation of measures to prevent the risk of collisions between Earth and the cosmic object. .
The conference to protect the Earth was held after the release of information, said an asteroid named Apophis, 140 meters in diameter, is likely to hit the Earth on April 13, 2036. .
Experts predict that, in the worst case scenario, Apophis will cause an explosion on Earth that is 80,000 times bigger than the atomic bomb that America dropped on Hiroshima on August 6, 1945.
