AI System Finds First Possibly Dangerous Asteroid
The researchers said the newly discovered asteroid met the description of a potentially hazardous asteroid (PHA).

However, the scientists said asteroid 2022 SF289 will likely present no threat to Earth in the foreseeable future.

AI System Finds First Possibly Dangerous Asteroid
The newly discovered asteroid was the first PHA to be identified with the HelioLinc3D algorithm.

Scientists plan to use the new algorithm together with the Vera C. Rubin Observatory, which is still being developed on top of a mountain in Chile.

Rubin is expected to start operating in early 2025.

University of Washington researchers have said the observatory should greatly improve the discovery rate of PHAs.

AI System Finds First Possibly Dangerous Asteroid
This is because the telescope was built with a very powerful new camera and a huge mirror.

Some NEOs are difficult to identify with existing telescopes because they can be blocked by bright areas of space.

For example, other equipment missed asteroid 2022 SF289 because of rich star fields that exist in our Milky Way galaxy.

Rubin’s instruments are expected to provide more detailed images and data to improve the identification process for NEOs.

The University of Washington researchers say more than 2,350 have so far been discovered.

The HelioLinc3D algorithm was developed specifically to be used by the Vera C. Rubin Observatory.

AI Tool Aims to Predict Virus Variants before They Appear
Scientists have created an artificial intelligence (AI) tool that aims to predict different virus versions, called variants, before they appear.

AI Tool Aims to Predict Virus Variants before They Appear
Creators of the tool say it works by estimating the likelihood that a variant will permit it to escape the body’s own immunity defenses.

The tool is called EVEscape. It works by processing collected data on the development, or evolution, of a virus over time.
