NASA experts have published data obtained with a telescope NEOWISE.
Over the past year the machine has detected 97 unknown objects, 10 of which have been characterized by scientists as potentially hazardous to Earth.
According to a senior researcher at the jet propulsion Laboratory of NASA Amy Mainzer, thanks to the telescope was able to study not only the unknown asteroids and comets, but also to obtain information about those celestial bodies that have already been listed in a special catalogue of discoveries.
Thus, of the 97 objects 28 was earth, 64 – asteroids from the main belt, 5 – comets and 10 as potentially hazardous to Earth asteroids.
