Abstract

The majority of people like catastrophic stories, especially if they are far enough. The asteroid hazard has become one of classical thriller and/or sci-fi subjects. In fact Earth collision with asteroid has a very low probalility, but it is not a sci-fi. So educating public and media on detection, impact effects, mitigation missions, impact warnings belong to the most important tasks of NEOs scientists and research institutions. Recent research results in the field of Near-Earth Objects (NEO) cause growing interest among general public too. Furthermore NEO related issues have outstanding educational value and outreach potential. It could be a responsibility of NEO scientists to spread clear, correct, concise, comprehensive and up-to-date information to wide public, students, educators, media as well as to decision makers.
