Spaceguard

Spaceguard is a scientific effort to detect and track near-Earth objects (NEOs), such as asteroids and comets that come close to our planet. Its goal is to identify potentially hazardous objects early enough to assess impact risks and develop possible deflection strategies. Using telescopes and advanced imaging technologies, Spaceguard surveys the skies to monitor these objects’ trajectories. This proactive approach helps protect Earth from possible impacts that could cause significant damage, serving as a crucial part of planetary defense by providing early warning and supporting potential mitigation efforts.
