NASA captures radar images of asteroid 2003 SD220 as it approached EarthNASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory
The asteroid will fly safely past Earth on Saturday, December 22nd, 2018 at a distance of about 1.8 million miles (2.9 million kilometers). This will be the asteroid’s closest approach in more than 400 years and the closest until 2070, when the asteroid will safely approach Earth slightly closer. ![]() These three radar images of near-Earth asteroid 2003 SD220 were obtained on December 15th-17th, by coordinating observations with NASA’s 230-foot (70-meter) antenna at the Goldstone Deep Space Communications Complex in California and the National Science Foundation’s (NSF) 330-foot (100-meter) Green Bank Telescope in West Virginia.

NASA’s Spitzer Space Telescope Finds Possible Exoplanet Smaller Than EarthWritten by Whitney Clavin
Exoplanets circle stars beyond our sun. Only a handful smaller than Earth have been found so far. Spitzer has performed transit studies on known exoplanets, but UCF-1.01 is the first ever identified with the space telescope, pointing to a possible role for Spitzer in helping discover potentially habitable, terrestrial-sized worlds. ![]() This artist’s concept shows what astronomers believe is an alien world just two-thirds the size of Earth — one of the smallest on record. It was identified by NASA’s Spitzer Space Telescope. The exoplanet candidate, known as UCF-1.01, orbits a star called GJ 436, which is located a mere 33 light-years away. UCF-1.01 might be the nearest world to our solar system that is smaller than our home planet. (Image credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech) «Read the rest of this article» Sections: Technology | No Comments
