NASA has posted an official request asking the public for help finding asteroids!
Scientists have estimated that 90% of asteroids are one kilometer or larger, meaning if they were to hit Earth, they could take out an entire town! Not to worry though, these asteroids have been around for a while so we’re in no immediate danger.
NASA has done a great job of keeping the asteroids away from our planet so far, but they’re looking for new ideas! There are so many asteroids and only a handful of people who work at NASA, so they are reaching out to anyone and everyone!
Basically NASA is looking for Asteroid Hunters! Amateur scientists and astronomers with ideas for how to better spot asteroids that are nearby and for new ideas on how to keep them away.
Sounds like a cool idea for a movie or a comic! What do you think?
