Don't Look Up

Released: 2021

Storyline: 

Kate Dibiasky, a Michigan State University astronomy Ph.D. candidate, doing work with the Subaru Telescope, discovers a previously unknown comet just inside of Jupiter's orbit at 4.6 au from the Sun. Her professor, Dr. Randall Mindy, calculates that it will impact Earth in about six months and is large enough to cause a planet-wide extinction event, which NASA internally confirms. Accompanied by NASA's Planetary Defense Coordination Office head Dr. Teddy Oglethorpe, Dibiasky and Mindy present their findings to the White House but are met with apathy from President Janie Orlean and her son, Chief of Staff Jason.
