From March 2026.

Today's 2 topics:

- My Catalina Sky Survey teammate Tracie Beuden was observing
with our Schmidt telescope on Mt. Bigelow, Arizona in the
constellation of Perseus when she found 2026-AA, the first
asteroid of 2026. Asteroid hunters are trying to track Tracie's
discovery with our number on it far enough in advance so humans
could give it a tiny nudge and make it miss Earth.

- Humans can mitigate the damage done by the impact of an
asteroid given a sufficient lead time. In 1998, the US Congress
mandated NASA to detect and track 90% of the 1 km sized asteroids
capable of effecting local mass destruction as well as global
disruption of agriculture and other human activities. This goal
has been accomplished. In 2005 Congress extended the mandate to
require NASA to detect and track 90% of the 140-m asteroids
capable of destroying a large metropolitan area.
