Two astronomical observatories in southern Russia have discovered a new asteroid 2022 SE37 approaching Earth. The asteroid tracked by two observatories on his October 1 is half a kilometer in diameter and orbits the Sun in an elongated orbit. The Keldysh Institute of Applied Mathematics of the Russian Academy of Sciences confirmed the 3.44-year period on its Telegram channel. The publication is also accompanied by images of the asteroid taken by the Kochevanchik village telescope and the Kuban State University telescope. A new asteroid detection was recently made by the US National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). Images taken by the Hubble Space Telescope and its successor, the James Webb Space Telescope, showed the flare after the spacecraft crashed at high altitude. The DART mission was designed to test the feasibility of deflecting a large asteroid or comet that was on a collision course with Earth. The latest experiment has been hailed by the US Space Agency as allowing scientists to gain knowledge of how such a dynamic impact can alter an asteroid’s trajectory. – Anything over 460 feet (140 m) in size and whose orbit is within 4.6 million miles (7.5 million km) of the Earth’s orbit around the Sun is considered potentially dangerous. Asteroids and comets with orbits reaching within 30 million miles (48.3 million kilometers) of Earth are called near-Earth objects (NEOs). NASA and other space organizations around the world therefore claim that they have been tasked with identifying threats from NEOs that could cause significant damage.

NASA recently released photos of an experimental Double Asteroid Redirection Mission (DART) that would crash a spacecraft into an asteroid, and NASA’s science chief said it could “deflect” a potentially dangerous object as it lashes out toward Earth. We applauded your continued efforts to teach engineers how to “defend.”
The asteroid tracked by the two observatories on October 1 has a diameter of 0.5 km and orbits the Sun in an elongated orbit with a period of 3.44 years, the Keldysh Institute of Applied Mathematics of the Russian Academy of Sciences confirmed. . on the telegram channel.
The Institute has revealed that asteroids pose no danger to Earth in the near future. The publication is also accompanied by images of the asteroid taken by the Kochevanchik village telescope and the Kuban State University telescope.
Images taken by the Hubble Space Telescope and its successor, the James Webb Space Telescope, show flares after the spacecraft’s high-speed collision with the asteroid Dimorphos orbiting the big rock Didymos on September 26.
The DART mission was designed to test the feasibility of deflecting a large asteroid or comet that was on a collision course with Earth. The latest experiments have been hailed by the US Space Agency as allowing scientists to gain knowledge of how such kinetic effects can change the orbits of asteroids.
