This is from Phys.org website this morning July 3, 2020: and I quote from the article;

"The two asteroids are located at different distances from us, so they did not actually collide as their intersecting streaks might suggest. They were uncovered by citizen scientists Sovan Acharya, Graeme Aitken, Claude Cornen, Abe Hoekstra and Edmund Perozzi, some of the volunteers who have been inspecting images from the iconic space telescope in search for rocky interlopers as part of the Hubble Asteroid Hunter citizen science project."

Folks of the Asteroid@home project - citizens are making a difference in asteroid detection. https://phys.org/news/2020-07-image-hubble-captures-galaxy-asteroids.html

The Hubble Asteroid Hunter project has finished.
But the Catalina Outer Solar System Survey Project has launched just a week ago, hoping to find new Trans-Neptunian Objects (TNOs)
