  2. #HelioLinc3D found a near-Earth #asteroid ☄️ that older surveys had missed — one 600 feet long, the type that could devastate 💥 a large city 🏙️ . It was specifically designed for the #RubinObservatory in #Chile 🇨🇱. Telescopic 🔭 surveys have so far found more than 32,000 near- #Earth asteroids.

  7. #UniversityOfWashington 📆 July 31, 2023 “This is just a small taste of what to expect with the #RubinObservatory in less than two years, when #HelioLinc3D will be discovering an object ☄️ like this every night." Any survey 🔭 will have difficulty discovering these faint 🌑 objects near its #sensitivity limit. washington.edu/news/2023/07/31
