Not so long ago, statements like the one above were considered overly catastrophic and were not taken seriously, but, as this resolution which The Council of Europe released on 20th March 1996 shows, times change
Something about the problematic can also be found on pages of the ‘90 Croatian expedition to Tunguska area of Russia, where an asteroid disintegrated in air in 1908.
To support the world wide efforts in this field, The DAGOR Project has been initiated at Visnjan Observatory and in cooperation with ICS World Laboratory, Lausanne (project T-1 A/I), a group of students has been formed which will assist in measurements and work. These students’ first time work and interaction with science will happen through the ARRF group.
Take a look at a short overview of the Congress of Astrometry, Italy 23rd - 25th May 1997, which turned out to be an unofficial Spaceguard Foundation meeting.
