NASA is developing a space telescope called Near-Earth Object (NEO) Surveyor, that will look for asteroids and comets that serve as potential threats to our home planet. It is designed to discover 90% of asteroids, 460 feet in size or larger that come within 48 million kilometers of the Earth's orbit. NEO Surveyor is expected to launch in 2028.
