[NEO @NEOProjectsSGAC]

On Behalf of @SGAC Near Earth Objects (NEO) Project Group, We wish you all a very happy 'International Asteroid Day' ! ☄️☄️🌠

On this special day, we are pleased to present to you our First 'Special Edition' of SGAC NEO Project Group Newsletter! 🌟 (1/3)

[HAYABUSA2@JAXA @haya2e_jaxa]

Today is Asteroid Day! Studying asteroids like Ryugu can uncover information about planet formation and how the Earth became habitable. This is one of our favourite images of Ryugu! Many more can be seen in our gallery: https://t.co/cwDNDeNx7U (📷: JAXA, U. Tokyo & collaborators)

This is the highest-resolution mosaic of site Osprey to-date, and shows the site at 0.2 inches (5 mm) per pixel at full size. It is made up of 347 images — all taken May 26, during the 820 ft (250 m) pass over the backup sample site.

On April 29. asteroid 1998 OR2 will safely pass Earth by 3.9 million miles/6.2 million km. A @Daily_Express article implying there is a "warning" about this asteroid is false. A complete listing of all asteroid passes is always public at https://t.co/i6i8HwCDJq. Carry on!

ENTREVISTADO EN @20m sobre el encuentro con el asteroide potencialmente peligroso #2002PZ39 que pasa mañana a 5,8 millones de km de la Tierra. Su diámetro: cercano al km

You may have heard an asteroid is "headed our way fast". It's not. This one will miss is by 13x the distance to the Moon and its orbit is well known since 2002.

A worldwide network of astronomers is always scanning for threats. 🔭🛡️☄️ Info here:

[NASA Space Alerts @NASASpaceAlerts]

We've seen some incorrect stories on #asteroid 2002 PZ39 circulating. The trajectory of this asteroid is very well known. It will safely pass Earth at a distance of 5.77 million km (3.59 million miles), about 15 times the distance of the Moon.

[NASA Space Alerts @NASASpaceAlerts]

Information on all near-Earth approaches is public and available at https://t.co/OCcqlGdyVi with a data table that includes distances, sizes, etc.

Newly-discovered asteroid 2020 CQ1 passed just outside our band of geostationary satellites yesterday, missing our surface by only 58,000 km. It's slow speed allowed Earth's gravity to noticeably bend its path.

Multi-disciplinary team from @UBC studied unintended consequences of debris from #asteroidmining, an aspect that current legal frameworks don't address. They present their results at 1st International Orbital Debris Conference Dec 9-12. #orbitaldebris2019

[Cassini @CassiniSaturn]

Early this year, the @OSIRISREx team made a surprising discovery: asteroid Bennu was releasing particles. After months of study, the team has narrowed down the possible causes of these particle ejections. https://t.co/sNKbJA5xQ1

[The Space Resource @TheSpaceRes]

Recently at @NewWorldsGo, @rockyboulders interviewed @Casanvar from @ExpanseOnPrime. They discuss the role of #art and #science in #SpaceExploration + management of #resources on Earth and offworld as primary challenge of the human condition and our era.

What do these 80 asteroids have in common?
They all passed within 1 Lunar Distance of Earth in 2019.

Today on #TweetYourWork: astronomers daylighting as engineers.

[Tim Lister @astrosnapper]

Thread: Today I got to do what a lot of astronomers rarely get to do (mostly I think because the engineers think we'll stuff something..) and installed hardware on a big(ish) telescope. 1/11

The November 2019 report from @esa on NEOs is available.

On 31 Oct 2019, very small asteroid 2019 UN13 passed within 0.03 lunar distances from Earth. Also, @AreciboRadar has observed a record 100 NEOs so far in 2019! #planetarydefense #teamradar

This is so cool! @vareck is attempting to reconstruct the orbit of a 1972 daytime meteor from a few pictures.

[Arecibo Radar @AreciboRadar]

We made a new record! As of this past weekend, @AreciboRadar has successfully observed more than 100 near-Earth #asteroids in 2019 – the most asteroids observed in one year at @NAICObservatory!

The @b612foundation has released their 2019 Annual Progress Report. This has been an important year for educational outreach and their Asteroid Institute developing new technologies to track and find asteroids. #planetarydefense
