Southwest Research Institute’s Tracy Becker is part of a team of scientists observing and characterizing near-Earth objects (NEOs) that could pose a threat to Earth or have potential for further exploration. The project is using data from the Arecibo Observatory in Puerto Rico, which has played a significant role in characterizing other asteroids, resulting in 3D models and an animation of the first trinary asteroid ever discovered (background).
