75% Informative
The Vera C. Rubin Observatory in Chile has identified 2,104 never-before-seen asteroids in our solar system.
Seven of these asteroids are categorized as near- Earth objects.
Over the next few years , Rubin could very well hike that figure up to five million .
The plan is for Rubin to capture such massive, high-resolution images once every three nights for at least the next 10 years .
2024 YR4 briefly had a head-turning likelihood of hitting our planet before that likelihood shot down to nil.
There was even a hearing about asteroid safety in May , held by the U.S. House Committee on Space, Science and Technology .
In two or three years , after we start LSST later this year , we will sweep around and discover all of the millions of asteroids.
