A R T O F R E S I L I E N Art of Resilience NEO _Aster_2090-2092___2019-04-10-00-53-37-75 TITLE NEO_2034_2019-04-10-00-55-51-305 (NEO: Near Earth Object) APPROACH Visualizations of Big Data - data art as an emerging form of science communication: Superforecasting: The Art and Science of Prediction; visualizing the risk posed by potential Earth impacts. WHAT Photographic 3D render from an artscience datavisualization dealing with the prediction of potential asteroid impacts on Earth. TECHNIQUE Custom predictive software and code made in openFrameworks in C++ (see addendum) to generate an accurate datavisualization and predictions of bolide events based on data from NASA and KAGGLE. The computation of Earth impact probabilities for near- Earth objects is a complex process requiring sophisticated mathematical techniques. PROCESS The datavisualizations resulted in svg. and obj. files which allows 3D model export, 3D printing and lasercutting techniques. For the Art of Resilience a photographic 3D render was selected by the artist for this exhibition. ART OF RESILIENCE On the 18th of december 2018 an asteroid some ten metres across detonated with an explosive energy ten times greater than the bomb dropped on Hiroshima. The shock wave shattered windows of almost 7200 buildings. Nearly 1500 people were injured. Although astronomers have managed to locate 93% of the extremely dangerous asteroids, nobody saw it coming. Can art contribute to save the Earth from future threats the means of super forecasting and increase our resilience in regards to potential future asteroid impacts? ARTISTIC STATEMENT Artists often channel the future; seeing patterns before they form and putting them in their work, so that later, in hindsight, the work explodes like a time bomb. Prediction is not limited to the art world. It’s important in science, math, AI, insurance, and so on. Asteroids and meteorites are messengers from space that have had a significant effect on Earth’s history and are likely to influence the future as well. It led to the extinction of dinosaurs. The artist used data from NASA and KAGGLE to forecast potential asteroid impacts on Earth. The result combines a post- minimal aesthetic with datavisualization techniques. We see Earth represented as a thin sheet of paper perforated with holes. The holes represent asteroid impacts. This project frames in a wider thematic exploration of subjects like impact, chance and forecasting.

The conceptual crux of his artistic praxis are the notions of the inaudible, intangible and invisible. An excellent example is the conceptualisation, and creation, of the Blackest-Black art made in collaboration with American universities and NASA. The project received the Ars Electronica Next Idea Award (2010) and the Best European Collaboration Award (2011) between an artist and scientist, extensively covered (e.g. Huffington post, Creators Project, TED). In 2022 De Wilde brings the Blackest-Black art to the Moon in collaboration with Carnegie Mellon as a core member of the Moonark Team (www.moonarts.org/about/team), NASA, AstroRobotic and Space-X. He is also finalist of ‘Giant Steps’ which aims to bring an artist to the Moon supported by x-prize lab MIT, finalist of the ZKM app art award with ‘Coremites,’ finalist of the World Wide TED Talent Search. De Wilde is a laureate and member of Royal Flemish Young Academy of Belgium for Science and the Arts (www.jongeacademie.be), collaborates with the JRC EU, was a guest professor at the Artscience Interfaculty in Den Hague, Transmedia Brussels, St. Martins College London and published several essays and papers with Amsterdam and Chicago University Press, Leondardo Journal, MIT Press, Springer, etc. He collaborated with the KIT, University of Leuven (Prometheus, division of Skeletal Tissue Engineering), collaborating with Hasselt University (I-BioStat), UGent (Textile Department), Wyoming University, ..., and organisations (e.g. ESTEC, NASA). In 2017 he realised his first short film “Joy Palace” in 2017 which was supported by the Flanders Audiovisual Fund, produced by Potemkino, Bekke Films, Radiator Sales and supported by The Fridge. De Wilde exhibited (selection) at BOZAR, Brakke Grond, ZKM, Carnegie Museum of Arts, Venice Biennial 2017, MuST museum, MetaMorf Biennial, National Museum of the 21st Century, Kunsthal Amersfoort, Art Basel, Tetem, Todays Art, Z33, Scopitone, Singapore Art Science Museum, MAAT museum, Whitechapel Gallery, Centre Pompidou, National Gallery Singapore, Vasarelly Foundation, Gulbenkian Museum, Moody Center for The Arts Houston, iMAL, ... CUSTOM SOFTWARE Custom software was made to make predictions of bolide events based on high quality input data from NASA. NEO_2034_2019-04-10-00-55-51-305 (NEO: Near Earth Object) CUSTOM SOFTWARE CODING Step 1 - event position sampling For prediction, the Bolide events 1994-2013 image (see url link below) was manually labeled, and using this, was computed estimation of probability density of latitudes of such events. This density was used for generating new random events positions latitudes. Longitudes was sampled from uniform distribution (we used proposition that longitudes are uniform) In this way, we obtained random position on a sphere. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asteroid_impact_avoidance#/media/ File:SmallAsteroidImpacts-Frequency-Bolide-20141114.jpg Step 2 - putting 680 asteroids on a map The file impacts.csv from Kaggle competition (see url below) was used as source data for predicting the year and damaging factor. It contains year ranges for around 700 asteroids. We removed the three last lines in this file (too late years). The other 680 asteroids predictions were used in our computations e.g. from each asteroid we sampled its position (from Step 1), and declared that this asteroid can hit Earth in the specified range of years, as specified in impacts.csv. To obtain repetitive results, the random generator was controlled by its seed (by RND_SEED parameter in app). https://www.kaggle.com/nasa/asteroid-impacts Note: in all year's ranges one asteroid has one fixed position, just to obtain a more stable view from one to another year than generating prediction images/3D models. Step 3 - visualizing asteroids Asteroids are visualized as circles on the Earth's map or on a sphere. The center of a circle is a sampled position.To assign the radius of a circle, from corresponding asteroid is get its property (for example, Asteroid Diameter (km) or Cumulative Palermo Scale) and scaled into specified range for radius. Also, non-linear gamma- transformation is used for emphasize the difference of properties across the asteroids.

"According to the opportunity-structure hypothesis, the parent's educational level predicts his/her probability of being mentioned as a career influencer (that ism parents with higher educational levels would be more likely to be named). The examination of a sample of American scientists who had received prestigious postdoctoral fellowships resulted in rejecting the role-model hypothesis and corroborating the opportunity-structure hypothesis.

  • Newsletter December 2016
    Current NEO statistics A refinement of the method used for analysing the asteroid hazard led to an increase in the number of objects in the risk list. Known NEOs: 15 271 asteroids and 106 comets NEOs in risk list*: 576 New NEO discoveries since last month: 161 NEOs discovered since 1 January 2016: 1750 Focus on Whenever a new set of observations for an object is published, our Impact Monitoring routines perform a new search for possibly impacting orbits compatible with such set of observations. The system is capable of detecting all possibly impacting orbits down to an impact probability threshold, named “generic completeness level”. The search begins by investigating a set of initial conditions taken along a specific line of parameters, called Line of Variations (LoV), inside the orbit uncertainty region. The NEODyS impact monitoring system was recently switched to a new method to sample the LoV, which decreased the generic completeness level from 4×10-7 to 10-7 (i.e. a factor of four better than the previous approach). The whole risk list has been updated with the outcome of the new method, and it is now available on both the NEODyS and the NEOCC risk pages. Upcoming interesting close approaches To date no known object is expected to come closer than one lunar distance to our planet in December, thus deserving special attention. New discoveries likely will. The closest known approach will be 2016 WQ3 at 1.5 lunar distances on 1 December. Recent interesting close approaches Four new objects came closer than the Moon in November.

  • Near-Earth Asteroids Accessible to Human Exploration with High-Power Electric Propulsion
    AAS 11-446 NEAR-EARTH ASTEROIDS ACCESSIBLE TO HUMAN EXPLORATION WITH HIGH-POWER ELECTRIC PROPULSION Damon Landau* and Nathan Strange† The diverse physical and orbital characteristics of near-Earth asteroids provide progressive stepping stones on a flexible path to Mars. Beginning with cislunar exploration capability, the variety of accessible asteroid targets steadily increas- es as technology is developed for eventual missions to Mars. Noting the poten- tial for solar electric propulsion to dramatically reduce launch mass for Mars ex- ploration, we apply this technology to expand the range of candidate asteroid missions. The variety of mission options offers flexibility to adapt to shifting exploration objectives and development schedules. A robust and efficient explo- ration program emerges where a potential mission is available once per year (on average) with technology levels that span cislunar to Mars-orbital capabilities. Examples range from a six-month mission that encounters a 10-m object with 65 kW to a two-year mission that reaches a 2-km asteroid with a 350-kW system. INTRODUCTION In the wake of the schedule and budgetary woes that led to the cancellation of the Constella- tion Moon program, the exploration of near-Earth asteroids (NEAs) has been promoted as a more realizable and affordable target to initiate deep space exploration with astronauts.1,2 Central to the utility of NEAs in a progressive exploration program is their efficacy to span a path as literal stepping stones between cislunar excursions and the eventual human

All rights reserved. Mission Concept - Pre-decisional - for Planning and Discussion Purposes Only. This research was carried out in part at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, California Institute of Technology, under a contract with the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, and in part at University of California, Los Angeles. Comet Hitchhiker NASA Innovative Advanced Concepts Preface Yes, of course the Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy was in my mind when I came up with a concept of a tethered spacecraft hitching rides on small bodies, which I named Comet Hitchhiker. Well, this NASA-funded study is not exactly about traveling through the Galaxy; it is rather about exploring our own Solar System, which may sound a bit less exciting than visiting extraterrestrial civilizations, building a hyperspace bypass, or dining in the Restaurant at the End of the Universe. However, for the “primitive ape-descended life forms that have just begun exploring the universe merely a half century or so ago, our Solar System is still full of intellectually inspiring mysteries. So far the majority of manned and unmanned Solar System travelers solely depend on a fire breathing device called rocket, which is known to have terrible fuel efficiency. You might think there is no way other than using the gas-guzzler to accelerate or decelerate in an empty vacuum space.

  • MHMP 2014 UPDATE PART 3 I D Natural Geological Hazards
    I. Natural Hazards D. Geological Hazards The following outline summarizes the significant geological hazards covered in this section: 1. Ground Movement a. Earthquakes b. Subsidence 2. Celestial Impacts Although some states recognize “landslides” as an additional hazard, Michigan’s geology and history tends to make it more prone to land subsidence instead. Michigan’s two main vulnerabilities to ground movement are therefore identified in the sections on earthquakes and subsidence hazards. Erosion is not in itself typically considered an emergency event, except in cases involving encroachment into shoreline developments near a river or lake, and these have been dealt with in the Hydrological Hazards section of this plan. A new section of this plan, celestial impacts, deals not only with the impact of physical objects on property, but also with the effects of solar storms on our modern infrastructure. It will be seen that the systemic technological impacts of this hazard involve greater expected risks than the more well-known impacts of a meteoritic type. Although meteorite impacts are quite easy to understand and visualize, and do have a small potential to be catastrophic, it is the seemingly abstract and mostly invisible effect of “space weather” that has the greatest probability of causing widespread disruption and harm in the near future. Overlap Between Geological Hazards and Other Sections of the Hazard Analysis The most serious Michigan earthquakes would be expected to damage some of the utilities infrastructure in the southern part of the state, and could contribute to the occurrence of an energy emergency. Some flooding could result from broken water mains.
