NASA has begun work on an asteroid-hunting telescope to protect Earth from disaster. NEO Surveyor is a new space telescope made to advance NASA’s planetary defense efforts by finding near-Earth objects, or NEOs, that make their way into Earth’s orbital neighborhood and are capable of causing significant damage. NASA said in a statement last month that the telescope is designed to discover 90% of asteroids and comets that are 460 feet in size or larger and come within 30 million miles of Earth’s orbit.
