Summary

90% Informative

NASA project NEOWISE , which has given astronomers a detailed view of near- Earth objects some of which could strike the Earth , ended its mission and burned on re-entering the atmosphere after over a decade.

On occasion, near-earth objects smash into Earth at a high speed roughly 10 miles per second ( 16 kilometers per second ) or faster.

Impacts from large asteroids are generally rare over a typical human lifetime but they're more frequent on geological timescale of millions to billions of years.

NEOWISE had taken more than 1.5 million infrared measurements of 44,000 different objects in the solar system.

The spacecraft eventually started to fall toward Earth 's surface, until it reentered Earth 's atmosphere and burned up on Nov. 1, 2024 .

Despite the mission's contributions to science and planetary defense, it was decommissioned in August 2024 .
