There are more than 36,000 near-Earth asteroids, with 2,400 considered potentially hazardous. NASA’s mission focuses on detecting and characterizing 90% of these.
The Near-Earth Object Surveyor mission aims to detect and characterize asteroids larger than 140 meters to enable strategies for deflection if needed.
I love seeing how excited kids get when they look through a telescope for the first time and see Saturn’s rings or Jupiter’s moons.
From an early age, I believed in astronomy; starting a club in high school led me to a career with NASA, which I adore.
