Arecibo Observatory radar observations have removed the near-Earth asteroid 2020 NK1, originally estimated at more than 500 meters (1600 feet) across, from the CNEOS Sentry List.Before the Arecibo observations, 2020 NK1 was calculated to be one of the biggest threats out of all known asteroids on NASA’s list of potential impactors, with about … We present recent science highlights of the Arecibo Observatory's planetary radar project from 2019-2020. Arecibo Observatory/NASA/NSF Most NASA images are in the public domain. It is riding with the agency's next mission to Mars (the Mars 2020 Perseverance rover) as it launches from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station later this summer. According to the University of Central Florida : The observatory shut down to prepare for the storm, and as soon as it passed the team jumped into action to detect and study the asteroid. July 14, 2020. 2020 NK1 measures approximately 488 meters in diameter. 2020 NK1 is one of many Potentially Hazardous Objects (PHO) that NASA tracks. This radar image of the near-Earth asteroid 2020 NK1 was captured by the Arecibo Observatory in Pureto Rico on July 30-31. This is a newly discovered asteroid and when come to "possible" impacts "Sometimes, it can't even be said for certain what side of the Sun such an object will be on at the time of the listed possible impact." Dalam unggahan Twitter NASA @asteroidwatch, mengatakan “Pengamatan baru oleh @AreciboRadar, disponsori oleh Kantor Koordinasi #PlanetaryDefense @ NASA, mengonfirmasi #asteroid 2020 NK1 tidak menimbulkan ancaman bagi Bumi. The Arecibo Observatory in Puerto Rico is a key facility for post-discovery characterization of near-Earth asteroids (NEAs) and for studies of celestial bodies from Mercury out to the icy moons of Saturn. Other team members participating in the radar observation of 2020 NK1 were Flaviane Venditti, Israel Cabrera and Juan Marrero at Arecibo. Asteroid 2020 NK1 This radar image of asteroid 2020 NK1 was captured on 31 July 2020 by the Arecibo Observatory in Puerto Rico. NASA officials can also use the information to determine which objects are the most viable for science missions – landing on an asteroid is not equally easy for all of them. Arecibo, Puerto Rico – August 7, 2020 . While asteroid 2020 NK1 was bearing down on the Earth, Arecibo was being assaulted by Hurricane-turned-Tropical-Storm Isaias. 2020. According to the researchers, its size makes it one of the main Potentially Hazardous Objects (PHO) tracked by NASA – this classification applies to asteroids over 152 meters in diameter at a distance of at least 8 million kilometers (5 million miles) from Earth’s orbit. One example is asteroid 2020 NK1, discovered by a telescope in Hawaii in early July and whose initial orbit showed it posed an impact risk to the Earth late this century. NASA's Ingenuity Mars Helicopter will make history's first attempt at powered flight on another planet next spring. (Image credit: Arecibo Observatory/NASA/NSF)
