The Hubble Asteroid Hunter project combined artificial intelligence with human eyes to discover new asteroid trails in 37,000 old images from the Hubble Space Telescope.
Some asteroids from within our Solar System have photobombed deep images of the Universe taken bythe NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope. These asteroids reside, on average, only about 260 million kilometres from Earth — right around the corner in astronomical terms. Yet they've horned their way into this picture of thousands of galaxies scattered across space and time at inconceivably farther distances. This Hubble photo of a random patch of sky is part of the Frontier Fields survey.
Work will now begin to take each of the 1,031 new asteroids and explore their orbits, their sizes and how quickly they rotate. However, since the asteroids are faint and they were captured in old images it’s unlikely that scientists can piece together enough information about them to have Hubble capture them once again in its tight field of view.
