Richard Gladman

Richard Gladman is a planetary scientist and astronomer known for studying the dynamics of small bodies in our solar system, such as asteroids and comets. His work often involves understanding how these objects move, interact, and sometimes pose impact risks to Earth. He has contributed to identifying asteroid families, tracking near-Earth objects, and modeling their behaviors to improve planetary defense strategies. As a researcher, he communicates complex orbital phenomena clearly, aiding both scientific understanding and public awareness of potential space hazards.
