From Space.com: Asteroid Early-Warning System for Potential Impacts Makes Progress

Scientists working to help safeguard the Earth from potential asteroid strikes are moving forward with a novel Asteroid Terrestrial-impact Last Alert System, or ATLAS, to provide advance warning of potentially dangerous space rocks.

The ATLAS project is an asteroid impact early-warning system being developed by the University of Hawaii and funded by NASA. The project is dedicated to providing a one-day warning in the event of a potential 30-kiloton "town killer" asteroid strike; a week's warning for a 5-megaton "city killer"; and three weeks' notice for a potential 100-megaton "county killer" impact.

"We have First Light," according to an ATLAS team update. In a Colorado-based test at the end of March, the Acam1 camera and ATLAS 1 telescope were tested at DFM Engineering, Inc. in Longmont, Colorado.

After all, it was just a SWAG on my part ...

:D I searched a long time what is 'SWAG' but it seems to mean so many things that I am in a loss (I'm not a teenager ;) )

SWAG = Scientific Wild A$$ Guess

From NASA/JPL's YouTube channel

This movie shows the progression of NASA's NEOWISE survey in the year after its Dec. 2013 restart. Each dot represents an asteroid or comet that the mission observed.
Green dots represent near-Earth objects (asteroids and comets that come within 1.3 astronomical units of the sun; one astronomical unit is Earth's distance from the sun).
Yellow squares represent comets.
Gray dots represent all other asteroids, which are mostly in the main asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter. The orbits of Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars are shown.

It is when a project chooses to award a fixed number of credits per workunit completed and validated. Some projects choose to do this way, some projects choose other ways, there are several.


IF tasks are taking longer due to MORE DATA BEING analyzed the we ALL deserve MORE CREDITS.
