The Sun's glare is the main reason telescopes tend to look outwards from Earth, away from the center of our Solar System. New research reveals that for telescopic surveys prepared to peer in the other direction, there's lots to be found.
on planets and moons is that the numbers of NEOs have been steady over the last few billion years.
Considering their dynamically unstable orbits and unpredictable movements , that suggests that NEOs are being replenished in some way."The movement depends on the asteroid's rotation, size, albedo, and distance from the Sun,"."The smaller an asteroid is and the more sunlight it absorbs, the larger its movement."
These asteroid discoveries should help us to understand more about their movement, and how the number of NEOs has managed to stay steady over such long periods of time. Scientists think that most NEOs are asteroids that have been dislodged from the main belt between
