The “infrared space telescope” is “designed to help advance NASA’s planetary defense efforts by expediting our ability to discover and characterize most of the potentially hazardous asteroids and comets that come within 30 million miles of Earth’s orbit,” the space agency said in a press release on Friday.
The device, called the Near-Earth Object Surveyor, “will have the capability to rapidly accelerate the rate at which NASA is able to discover asteroids and comets that could pose a hazard to the Earth,” project scientist Mike Kelley said in the release.
The device “is being designed to discover 90 percent of asteroids 140 meters in size or larger within a decade of being launched,” he added.
Scientists have postulated that asteroid strikes in the past have caused widespread destruction and die-outs among earthbound species, including most famously the massive asteroid thought to have struck the Earth about 66 million years ago, likely causing the death of all non-avian dinosaurs as a result.

Stillness in the Storm Editor: Why did we post this?
The news is important to all people because it is where we come to know new things about the world, which leads to the development of more life goals that lead to life wisdom. The news also serves as a social connection tool, as we tend to relate to those who know about and believe the things we do. With the power of an open truth-seeking mind in hand, the individual can grow wise and the collective can prosper.
