Homewood-Flossmoor alum part of team that altered orbit of asteroid - CBS Chicago
Last month, NASA successfully launched a spacecraft into an asteroid millions of miles away, altering the course of its orbit.
The test could provide scientists with a blueprint for saving the earth from asteroid strikes in the future.
CBS 2's Marybel Gonzalez went to Homewood-Flossmoor High School where the engineer graduated 35 years ago.
Terrifying asteroid racing towards Earth, says NASA | Tech News
Asteroid flybys have been very frequent these past few months with over 35 asteroids passing by in the months of August and September each, and October is likely to surpass this number.
A huge asteroid with a width of nearly 58 feet will fly past Earth by a very close margin today, October 18. The asteroid, named Asteroid 2022 UB, will make its closest approach with the planet at a distance of 3.9 million kilometers.
'Potentially hazardous' asteroid is spinning faster and faster and no one knows why
Opinion: Good news - NASA proves there is a defense against asteroids
The stock market is dipping, inflation is on the rise and there is no end in sight to the war in Ukraine. But not all the news is bad: Our planet just got a bit safer, thanks to NASA.
In a feat previously relegated to the realms of science fiction, NASA scientists successfully deflected an asteroid from its path.

A proposal for monitoring potentially hazardous near-Earth asteroids
The authors discuss the concept and overall design of the NEA surveillance constellation. Generally, an asteroid defense system should obey the circle of OODA, which includes observation, orientation, decision, and action.
The proposed CROWN would be a key part of the asteroid defense system, which would be mainly responsible for observation and orientation, i.e., the detection and early warning of the PHAs and tracking and orbit determination (OD) of the target.
NASA Telescope Takes 12-Year Time-Lapse Movie of Entire Sky
This mosaic is composed of images covering the entire sky, taken by the Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE) as part of WISE's 2012 All-Sky Data Release. By observing the entire sky, WISE can search for faint objects, like distant galaxies, or survey groups of cosmic objects.
Dangerous asteroid moving towards Earth at 55728 kmph TODAY, warns NASA
However, the prediction by NASA at the moment is that there is very little chance that 2022 TM2 will strike the Earth. It is expected that the asteroid will make a safe passage. However, various instruments will be monitoring it till it is at a safe distance from us.
While multiple ground-based and satellite telescopes observe the asteroids, it is not possible to manually assess over 20,000 NEOs for a risk of strike. That's why JPL uses a system called Horizons.
