Asteroid surveys are systematic observations aimed at identifying and tracking asteroids in our solar system. These surveys use telescopes and advanced imaging techniques to detect and catalog the positions, sizes, and orbits of asteroids, particularly those that may come close to Earth. By monitoring these celestial objects, scientists can assess potential threats and better understand their composition and behavior. Many organizations, such as NASA and the Pan-STARRS project, conduct asteroid surveys to enhance our knowledge of these space rocks. The data collected helps in developing strategies for planetary defense and contributes to ongoing research in planetary science and the formation of our solar system.
