Scientists map asteroid threat in real time as impact risk escalates
Researchers rapidly characterized a near-Earth asteroid that triggered a level-3 alert on the Torino Scale, demonstrating new capability to assess impact hazards during critical windows. The work shows how fast characterization of threatening objects could inform evacuation decisions and planetary defense strategies before potential strikes.
