Based on the current understanding of the #SolarSystem and the @VRubinObs #telescope’s 🔭 planned observing schedule, an international team of #astronomers predicts that #Rubin’s bounty will include 89,000 📊 new near-Earth #asteroids ☄️, 3.7 million new main-belt asteroids, 1,200 new Centaurs and 32,000 new objects beyond #Neptune nytimes.com/2025/06/23/science

Good Morning, all,

my first degree had me studying Astronomy at Mill Hill Observatory in north London back in the 1970s.

I'm in awe at the progress that's been made in the technological developments enabling astronomical observation and in the theoretical progress made since I graduated...

A plan to manage asteroid mining wins Schweickart Prize
The $10,000 Schweickart Prize is awarded every June to mark Asteroid Day and draw attention to risks from above — and this year's prize is going to a team of students who are proposing a panel to focus on what could happen when we start tinkering with asteroids.

Between Mars and Jupiter are numerous #asteroids, including Vista, the second largest, which the #Dawn probe “visited” some fifteen years ago.

Dawn's Doppler tracking via the Deep Space Network and onboard imaging data have enabled us to estimate the moment of inertia of the #planetoid and deduce its “weak” internal stratification: a crust composed of magmatic rocks surrounds the mantle, which surmounts a small central core. But how did it form?

#VeraCRubin Observatory is expected to find millions of unknown objects, and perhaps even #PlanetNine
Rubin’s scans of #sky will make #Earth safer, spotting potentially dangerous asteroids that have eluded detection
“observe the same area of the sky, the same pointing in the sky, twice each night within about 20 min or so In those 20 min, stars remain where they are. Asteroids shift just slightly.”
