Any survey 🔭 will have difficulty discovering these faint 🌑 objects near its #sensitivity limit. https://www.washington.edu/news/2023/07/31/heliolinc3d/ #2022SF289 #AsteroidThreat

spaceflight, 9 months ago #HelioLinc3D found a near-Earth #asteroid ☄️ that older surveys had missed — one 600 feet long, the type that could devastate 💥 a large city 🏙️ . It was specifically designed for the #RubinObservatory in #Chile 🇨🇱. Telescopic 🔭 surveys have so far found more than 32,000 near- #Earth asteroids. Fainter asteroids ⚫ are mostly #undiscovered at present https://www.nytimes.com/2023/08/05/science/space-asteroids-rubin-heliolinc3d.html #NEO #AsteroidThreat video/mp4
