About Hubble Asteroid Hunter
With your help, we can identify asteroids in images of the NASA/ESA’s Hubble Space Telescope. Using the information we got from previous observations, we calculated the asteroids’ trajectories and compared them to the images from the European Hubble Space Telescope archive within the ESASky portal. If an asteroid happened to cross the image, we extract the position and report it to the Minor Planet Center of the International Astronomical Union (IAU), where the data is used to predict its future trajectory. This way, we gain a better understanding of the history and current state of the Solar System, as well as identify potential impact threats to Earth.
