    Powerful #Telescope Quickly Found 2,100 #Asteroids
    #VeraCRubin Observatory is expected to find millions of unknown objects, and perhaps even #PlanetNine
    Rubin’s scans of #sky will make #Earth safer, spotting potentially dangerous asteroids that have eluded detection
    “observe the same area of the sky, the same pointing in the sky, twice each night within about 20 min or so In those 20 min, stars remain where they are. Asteroids shift just slightly.”
