The brand-new telescope took test images and immediately found 93 asteroids that no one had ever seen before. It's like looking out your window for the first time and spotting dozens of uninvited guests around your house. Soon this vigilance will be constant — and we'll know about every cosmic interloper well ahead of time.
🎯 The total volume of data from this test run is 3.5 terabytes, roughly the equivalent of 700 full-length HD movies.
🎬 In the movie 'Armageddon,' an asteroid is spotted too late. Surveys like this will help detect dangerous objects well in advance.
