New algorithm spots its first “potentially hazardous” near-Earth asteroid — and it’s 600 feet long::The algorithm will eventually be used at the Vera C. Rubin Observatory, a survey telescope being built in Chile.
To give an idea of size, 200m is about twice the length that you run in a 100m sprint.
Hmm, need banana for scale.
