A resolution designating June 30, 2025 as "Asteroid Day".

This is a Senate resolution designating June 30, 2025 as “Asteroid Day.” It is a symbolic, non-binding measure intended to raise public awareness about asteroids—their potential risks as near-Earth objects and their value for scientific research and future space exploration. The resolution situates Asteroid Day within a broader history of awareness efforts, noting events like the Chelyabinsk airburst in 2013, the annual global observance since 2015, and recognition by the United Nations in 2016. It also acknowledges the role of international organizations and advocates for increased public understanding of asteroid research and planetary defense. As a resolution, it does not create new law, authorize spending, or impose regulatory requirements; rather, it expresses the Senate’s support for awareness and education on asteroid-related issues.
