NASA says it is testing its next-generation telescope that could one day help astronomers spot a city- or even planet-destroying asteroid like in the 2021 movie “Don’t Look Up.”
The Near-Earth Object Surveyor, or NEO Surveyor, is the U.S. space agency’s first infrared space telescope specifically designed to look for these potential hazards, helping to reveal even the darkest threats in space and those hidden in the glare of our sun.
