The 1998 recipient of the H. C. Urey Prize from the American Astronomical Society, Asphaug is at the forefront of scientists studying the "rubble pile" composition of most asteroids and the implications of such composition on efforts to divert asteroids from striking the Earth. The Harold C Urey Prize is awarded annually by the Division for Planetary Sciences of the American Astronomical Society.
