An asteroid discovered in August 2021 seemed on a collision course with Earth, but an extensive observation campaign that involved one of the world's most powerful telescopes eventually ruled out the space rock as a risk.
The asteroid , dubbed 2021 QM1, gave astronomers quite a headache.

There's no danger to Earth. Didymos and Didymoon are not heading our way. Instead it's an effort to learn what could be a very valuable planetary defense skill—nudging an asteroid off-course to avoid it striking Earth.
Always look up: Earth's top 7 asteroid defences
If an asteroid threat emerged, Earth would need to be ready. Scientists are continually working to give the planet the best range of defensive strategies
How an asteroid almost hit Earth and shocked the United Nations
Less than a decade ago, an asteroid the size of a small cabin exploded above a town in Russia. No one knew it was coming.
Spurred by a near miss, the world built an alert system to detect asteroids heading for Earth. But it's not clear who would decide what to do next.
Radar Observations of Near-Earth Asteroid 7335 1989 JA
This collage and animation represent NASA radar observations of near-Earth asteroid 7335 1989 JA on May 26, 2022, one day before it made its closest approach with Earth.
1989 JA is a binary system, consisting of a large asteroid and a significantly smaller satellite asteroid that revolve around each other without touching. The larger asteroid is about 0.4 miles (700 meters) across and shows several topographic features as it rotates.
The amateur asteroid hunters giving NASA a run for its money - EastMojo
Even with millions in funding and super high-tech equipment, the world's space agencies need a helping hand from people at home.
On this year's list of the top five asteroid hunters in the world , it's no surprise the top four spots are filled by multimillion-dollar NASA-funded projects. But coming in at number five is a trio of amateurs, Alain Maury, Georges Attard and Daniel Parrott.

Protecting our planet for potential asteroid strikes - Are We There Yet - Space - 90.7 WMFE
Thursday marks World Asteroid Day, a U.N.-sanctioned campaign to raise awareness of the scientific opportunities, and planetary threats, posed by asteroids.
So we're taking this week's episode to explore asteroids. From the efforts to study them and track them to make sure they don't slam into our own planet.
