Asteroid Detection Program

An asteroid detection program is a scientific effort to identify and track near-Earth objects (NEOs) that could pose a collision threat to our planet. Using advanced telescopes and technology, these programs scan the sky to find, monitor, and analyze the orbits of asteroids and comets. Early detection allows scientists to assess potential impacts and plan possible deflection or mitigation measures. Overall, it helps ensure planetary safety by providing crucial information about objects that could cause significant damage if they were to strike Earth.
