Our Best Asteroid-Spotting Telescopes Are Useless

How Worried Should We Be That Our Best Asteroid-Spotting Telescopes Are 50% Useless?:

Today in terrifying news about our total inability to spot incoming asteroids, we have a reality check for you.

For while the existence of reassuring-sounding programs like Nasa's Near Earth Object Program, ESA's CEO Coordinating Centre and the Space Weather Coordination Centre, we really have no idea what we're doing when it comes to preventing a devastating asteroid impact.

As evidence of that fact we present two events. The first took place almost exactly a year ago, when a massive asteroid exploded over Russia and injured 1,500 people with absolutely no warning at all. The other occurred on Monday, when an asteroid precisely tracked and monitored by Nasa totally failed to show up, because we lost it.

One year ago, on Feb. 15, 2013, the world was witness to the dangers presented by near-Earth Objects (NEOs) when a relatively small asteroid entered Earth's atmosphere, exploding over Chelyabinsk, Russia, and releasing more energy than a large atomic bomb. Tracking near-Earth asteroids has been a significant endeavor for NASA and the broader astronomical community, which has discovered 10,713 known near-Earth objects to date. NASA is now pursuing new partnerships and collaborations in an Asteroid Grand Challenge to accelerate NASA's existing planetary defense work, which will help find all asteroid threats to human population and know what to do about them. In parallel, NASA is developing an Asteroid Redirect Mission (ARM) -- a first-ever mission to identify, capture and redirect an asteroid to a safe orbit of Earth's moon for future exploration by astronauts in the 2020s.http://www.jpl.nasa.gov/news/news.php?release=2014-052
