Sentry (monitoring System)
Sentry is an automated Asteroid impact prediction, impact prediction system started in 2002 and operated by the Center for Near-Earth Object Studies, Center for Near Earth Object Studies (CNEOS) at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory. It continually monitors the most up-to-date asteroid catalog for possibilities of future impact with Earth over the next 100+ years. Whenever a potential impact is detected, it will be analyzed and the results immediately published by CNEOS. However, alerts do not imply certainty about future impacts, as the small amounts of optical data that can trigger an alert are not enough to conclusively identify an impact years in the future. In contrast, eliminating an entry on the risk page is a negative prediction (a prediction of where it will ''not'' be). Scientists warn against worrying about the possibility of impact with an object based on only a few weeks of optical data that show a possible Earth encounter years from now. Sometimes, it cannot even be sa ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
