This system can image the whole night sky visible from a single location with about 1000 separate telescope pointings. At 30 seconds per exposure plus 10 seconds for simultaneously reading out the camera and repointing the telescope, each ATLAS unit can therefore scan the whole visible sky a little over once each night, with a median ...
Earth has a new “mini-moon” after an asteroid has joined our orbit.. The object, known as 2024 PT5, has been chasing after us for years. Now, it has become close enough to be pulled in by our ...
This is a list of asteroids that have impacted Earth after discovery and orbit calculation that predicted the impact in advance. As of December 2024, all of the asteroids with predicted impacts were under 5 m (16 ft) in size that were discovered just hours before impact, and burned up in the atmosphere as meteors.
Below is an example list of near-Earth asteroids that nominally will pass more than 1 lunar distance (384,400 km or 0.00256 AU) from Earth in 2023. During 2022, over 1,000 asteroids passed within 10 LD (3.8 million km) of Earth. Rows highlighted grey indicate a planet or main-belt asteroid
Those same four planets remain widely visible in the night sky through much of February: Venus. Mars. Jupiter. Saturn.
