Asteroid hunters make 27,500 new finds in old data
A team of asteroid hunters that includes researchers at the University of Washington says it has identified 27,500 new, high-confidence asteroid discovery candidates — not by making fresh observations of the night sky, but by sifting t

Asteroid-hunting algorithm passes a tricky test
A new technique for finding potentially hazardous asteroids before they find us has chalked up its first success.
In this case, the asteroid isn’t expected to threaten Earth anytime in the foreseeable future. But the fact that the technique — which uses a
