Spring 2020 | By Laura J. Cole<\/em><\/p>\n

All it would take is one ill-fated\u00a0asteroid colliding with Earth to go\u00a0from a bad day to the end of days.\u00a0Such was the course of dinosaurs.<\/p>\n

But unlike in the Mesozoic Era, today\u00a0we have the tools to help us detect \u2014 and\u00a0hopefully deflect \u2014 what 麻豆原创 Professor\u00a0and Robinson Observatory<\/a> Director Yan\u00a0Fernandez calls \u201ccivilization busters.\u201d<\/p>\n

That\u2019s where researchers at 麻豆原创 and\u00a0the 麻豆原创-managed Arecibo Observatory<\/a>\u00a0in Puerto Rico come into play. Thanks to\u00a0a $19 million grant from NASA, they\u2019re\u00a0working to characterize asteroids and\u00a0comets so that governments and teams,\u00a0such as NASA\u2019s Planetary Defense\u00a0Coordination Office, can make informed\u00a0decisions on how to protect our planet.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou have to know what the asteroids\u00a0are really like to have an effective\u00a0mitigation strategy,\u201d Fernandez says.<\/p>\n

For example, \u201cIf you tried to blow up\u00a0an asteroid that\u2019s very porous with a\u00a0nuclear device, the asteroid could end\u00a0up just absorbing the blow rather than\u00a0being dismantled completely,\u201d says Anne\u00a0Virkki, planetary radar group lead at\u00a0Arecibo, which is home to the largest, most\u00a0sensitive radio telescope in the world.\u00a0\u201cThen you might end up with radioactive\u00a0pieces of asteroid still hitting the Earth.\u201d<\/p>\n

By collecting and analyzing data about\u00a0each asteroid\u2019s fundamental properties\u00a0\u2014 such as its mass, rotation, size and\u00a0surface composition \u2014 scientists are\u00a0not only making some pretty stellar\u00a0discoveries about the more than 20,000\u00a0space objects whirling past our precious\u00a0home planet, but they\u2019re providing vital\u00a0information that can \u201cmean the difference\u00a0between missing the Earth and hitting it,\u201d\u00a0Fernandez says. Here\u2019s how.<\/p>\n

THE DANGER ZONE<\/span><\/h2>\n

[divider][\/divider]
\n NEOs <\/span><\/p>\n

Near-Earth objects are asteroids, comets and\u00a0meteoroids whose orbit is between Mars and\u00a0the sun, posing a danger of collision.<\/p>\n

[divider][\/divider]
\n460 Feet<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cNASA would define a potentially\u00a0hazardous asteroid as one that\u2019s 140 meters\u00a0[or 460 feet] or more in diameter,\u201d Virkki\u00a0says, which is slightly taller than the Great\u00a0Pyramid of Giza.<\/p>\n

\n[photo id=”19190″ title=”Pegasus-HowToHuntAKiller-Sidebar-proximity” alt=”” position=”center” width=”250px”][\/photo]
\n4.5 Million Miles<\/span><\/p>\n

Hazardous asteroids are also defined as\u00a0\u201cpassing the Earth closer than 19 lunar\u00a0distances or 4.5 million miles,\u201d Virkki says.<\/p>\n

\n1,000%<\/span><\/p>\n

As a result of advances in science, the\u00a0number of Great Pyramid-sized NEOs\u00a0discovered soaring past our planet has\u00a0increased by more than 1,000 percent\u00a0since 2003.<\/p>\n

WHY ARECIBO?<\/span><\/h2>\n

[blockquote source=”Yan Fernandez” cite=”” color=”#000000″ css_class=””]\u201cWe can do some serious analysis about what these asteroids are like without having to spend a bunch of money to send a spacecraft there.”[\/blockquote]<\/p>\n

Radar telescopes, such as the one at Arecibo, emit radio waves from large antennas, which bounce off\u00a0an asteroid and are reflected back, providing powerful data that helps scientists determine an asteroid\u2019s\u00a0orbit, rotation, shape, size and surface composition. \u201cArecibo\u2019s radar is the most powerful in the world,\u00a0which can transmit up to one megawatt of power,\u201d says Virkki. \u201cAnd we also have the biggest antenna,\u00a0about 305 meters [roughly 1,000 feet] across to collect the reflected signal.\u201d<\/p>\n

WHAT TO LOOK FOR<\/h3>\n

1. Discovery and Orbit<\/span><\/h3>\n

While optical telescopes are still the best way to find\u00a0NEOs and estimate their orbits, radar telescopes are\u00a0powerful tools in improving orbital predictions.<\/span><\/p>\n

2. Surface Composition<\/span><\/h3>\n

By bouncing radar signals off the surfaces of\u00a0asteroids, Arecibo can provide valuable information\u00a0about their physical characteristics. \u201cRadar allows\u00a0us to see up to one meter below the surface,\u201d\u00a0Virkki says, which helps determine composition.\u00a0\u201cFor example, some of the asteroids could be so\u00a0fluffy that if you tried to hit one with a projectile\u00a0or something to knock it off course or break it up,\u00a0the projectile could just get sort of embedded in it\u00a0instead,\u201d Fernandez says.<\/span><\/p>\n

3. Size, Shape and Rotation<\/span><\/h3>\n

Radar images can also help reconstruct an asteroid\u2019s\u00a0size, shape and rotation with a level of detail that\u00a0can otherwise only be obtained by a spacecraft.\u00a0\u201cFor example, in 2018, we were observing a very\u00a0rare type of binary asteroid called equal mass\u00a0binary, where you have two pretty much equally\u00a0sized lobes orbiting each other,\u201d Virkki says.<\/span><\/p>\n

4. Density and Mass<\/span><\/h3>\n

How do you weigh something that you can\u2019t get\u00a0close enough to touch? \u201cMass and density were\u00a0very difficult problems to solve in planetary\u00a0science for a very long time,\u201d says Fernandez.\u00a0\u201cIt\u2019s really hard to figure out the mass of things\u00a0unless you use tricks, right?\u201d That\u2019s where moons\u00a0can help. According to NASA, nearly 400 asteroids\u00a0have a small companion moon, and its orbit can\u00a0help determine the mass of the primary body.\u00a0\u201cIf you can figure out the shape and volume\u00a0of the asteroid, that gets you density,\u201d\u00a0Fernandez says.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

IDENTIFIED FLYING OBJECTS<\/span><\/h2>\n

[photo id=”19268″ title=”HowToHuntAKiller-Asteroid” alt=”” position=”center” width=”200px”][\/photo]<\/p>\n

ASTEROID:<\/strong> Apophis<\/span>
\nDiscovered:<\/strong> June 19, 2004<\/span>
\nSize:<\/strong> 1,100 feet wide<\/span><\/p>\n

When it was initially discovered, scientists calculated that the asteroid\u00a0Apophis had a 2.7 percent chance of hitting Earth. \u201cArecibo\u2019s radar was able\u00a0to show that though its orbit is going to go very close to Earth, it isn\u2019t going\u00a0to hit us,\u201d Virkki says. \u201cInstead, we can prepare our telescopes to observe\u00a0it when it goes by.\u201d Which it will, when on April 13, 2029, it will become the\u00a0closest asteroid of its size to fly by Earth \u2014 at about 19,400 miles away.
\n[divider][\/divider]<\/p>\n

[photo id=”19270″ title=”HowToHuntAKiller-Meteoroid” alt=”” position=”center” width=”200px”][\/photo]<\/p>\n

METEOROID:<\/strong> Chelyabinsk<\/span>
\nSize:<\/strong> 66 feet<\/span><\/p>\n

While scientists are able to discover many asteroids and comets, there\u00a0are some that slip by undetected. Such was the case with the Chelyabinsk\u00a0meteoroid that entered Earth\u2019s atmosphere over Russia on February 15, 2013,\u00a0injuring at least 1,200 people from the shockwave. Scientists believe it is\u00a0a fragment of an asteroid that gained speed when it was ejected from the\u00a0asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter. \u201cI think it was pretty porous \u2014\u00a0it just broke in the atmosphere when it got low enough,\u201d Virkki says.
\n[divider][\/divider]<\/p>\n

[photo id=”19269″ title=”HowToHuntAKiller-Comet” alt=”” position=”center” width=”200px”][\/photo]<\/p>\n

COMET:<\/strong> 679\/Churyumov-Gerasimenko<\/span>
\nDiscovered:<\/strong>\u00a0Oct. 22, 1969<\/span>
\nLast visited by:<\/strong> Rosetta spacecraft in 2014-16<\/span>
\nSize:<\/strong> 2.5 miles wide<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cSome asteroids can look like comets, some comets like asteroids,\u201d Fernandez\u00a0says. \u201cIn the old days, scientists believed that comets and asteroids were\u00a0totally separate things, but in the last 20 to 30 years, we\u2019ve discovered\u00a0there\u2019s really a continuum.\u201d For example, the rubber duck-shaped comet 67P\/\u00a0Churyumov-Gerasimenko looks like an asteroid in that it consists of two lobes\u00a0attached by a narrow neck, which is known as a \u201ccontact binary.\u201d Prior to\u00a0images of it taken in 2014, no one had seen a comet look quite like that.<\/p>\n

DID YOU KNOW?<\/span><\/h2>\n

麻豆原创 researchers are also part of NASA\u2019s OSIRIS-REx mission, which has sent a spacecraft to take a sample of the asteroid Bennu. One of the team\u2019s\u00a0recent discoveries found the asteroid is shooting out plumes of dust<\/a> \u2014 a phenomenon never witnessed before \u2014 which indicates the asteroid is\u00a0active.<\/span><\/p>\n

[divider][\/divider]<\/span><\/p>\n

Some asteroids and comets are light enough to float. \u201cWe all intuitively think that rocks are going to sink in the water, but some asteroids\u00a0and comets are actually less dense than water,\u201d Fernandez says.<\/span>
\n[divider][\/divider]<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0Arecibo\u2019s location in Puerto Rico provides optimal celestial viewing. \u201cBeing this close to the equator helps us see objects on the ecliptic plane\u00a0better,\u201d Virkki says.<\/span>
\n[divider][\/divider]<\/span><\/p>\n

Asteroids can impact their own orbit. By absorbing sunlight and re-emitting that energy as heat, asteroids get a small propulsion, which \u201cacts as a mini thruster that can slowly change the\u00a0asteroid\u2019s direction,\u201d Fernandez says.<\/span>
\n[divider][\/divider]<\/span><\/p>\n

Water is more prevalent in the solar system than previously believed. This discovery could help propel space exploration further.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
