✅   Mysterious Dark Comets Could Unlock Solar System Secrets

Science

Davide Farnocchia hunts down and tracks asteroids, and several years ago he saw something he couldn’t explain. Farnocchia works at NASA’s Center for Near-Earth Object Studies in California. Using software programs he helped to build, he follows all the known asteroids and comets zipping about close to the planet. He’s a cartographer working in four dimensions. “Our job is to predict how things move in space,” he says. “So if there’s something novel or unexpected, that’s where the advance in the field lies for us.”
