DescThe B612 Asteroid Institute launched ADAM::Precovery, a service that helps asteroid hunters locate known objects in historical datasets, improving orbit accuracy and impact probability calculations. The Asteroid Institute also developed a unified dataset incorporating multiple astronomical surveys, even those not initially designed for asteroid discovery. This powerful resource, hosted on Google Cloud, now includes around 5.3 billion data points to support new asteroid discoveries. With tools like Precovery and THOR, ADAM enables astronomers worldwide to detect millions of previously unseen objects. Learn more at b612.ai.Desc
