For anyone in the U.S. with Science Channel, the current season of "How the Universe Works" has a program about asteroids. I saw it last night, it was very interesting. This channel repeats the series often, so you should be able to catch it down the road.

Thanks, I am not in U.S. but I have seen it. I like watching astronomy series.

So the one's I have seen are both with Brian Cox, Wonders of the Solar System and Wonders of the Universe. These are excellent.

A lot of How the Universe Works is mediocre.

Here are a couple movies you should know about.


Extreme Astronomy This is a BBC film, heavy on ESO, but also so NASA.
Europe To The Stars This is a celebration of the 50'th anniversary of the birth of ESO.

Both are on YouTube, "Extreme..." as a 59 minute video;
"Europe To..." unfortunately whoever did this one did it in those 9 minute chunks YouTube used to require.
