Earthbound asteroids may be tracked more precisely using new equation

London, UK (SPX) Nov 26, 2024

Tracking potentially hazardous asteroids with greater precision may now be achievable thanks to a novel equation for calculating their orbits more accurately. Building on concepts introduced by Sir Isaac Newton and advanced by Albert Einstein's general relativity, researchers have devised a method to pinpoint the positions of minor solar system objects, such as asteroids, Kuiper Belt objec
