IMAX 3D: Asteroid Hunters—For schools

Narrated by Daisy Ridley, Asteroid Hunters 3D ventures into deep space for a fascinating look at asteroids, their cosmic origins and the potential threat they pose to our world.

This unique documentary introduces asteroid scientists—the best line of defence between Earth and an asteroid’s destructive path—and reveals the cutting-edge tools and techniques they use to detect and track asteroids, and the technology that may one day protect our planet. 

Witness the latest in planetary defence and find out how science, ingenuity and determination combine to explore the world’s most preventable natural disaster.

Please note: while this film is rated U and ‘suitable for all’, smaller children may find some scenes upsetting.
