Astronomers have detected three near-Earth asteroids, one of which is the largest, potentially hazardous object to be discovered in the last eight years.<\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n
An international team of astronomers have been able to observe three near-Earth asteroids hiding in the glare of the Sun by using twilight observations with the US Department of Energy-fabricated Dark Energy Camera at Cerro Tololo Inter-American Observatory in Chile, a programme of NSF\u2019s NOIRLab. The near-Earth asteroids detected are part of an elusive group that can be found inside the orbits of Earth and Venus. The astronomers found that one of the asteroids is the largest, potentially hazardous object to be discovered in the last eight years.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
