I never get tired of writing about the incredible work by #NASAJPL scientists who ping radar off nearby space rocks. The science that is gained from planetary radar is 🔥 And ranging measurements can help #CNEOS determine asteroids' orbit for decades, or centuries into the future https://www.jpl.nasa.gov/news/nasas-planetary-radar-captures-detailed-view-of-oblong-asteroid

An incredible achievement by the planetary defense community! #2022WJ1 was a tiny asteroid on a collision course with Earth. But astronomers saw it coming, and NASA’s Scout impact hazard assessment system calculated where it would hit: https://www.jpl.nasa.gov/news/nasa-program-predicted-impact-of-small-asteroid-over-ontario-canada #CNEOS #PDCO #NASA #Scout #PlanetaryDefense
