How B612’s Asteroid Institute and Google Cloud are revolutionizing asteroid discovery

The vast majority of celestial bodies in our Solar System are asteroids that are not currently tracked. Finding and tracking asteroids is therefore a major focus for astronomers hoping to understand the evolution of Earth and the Solar System, of investors and businesses hoping to fly missions to asteroids, and for all of us who want to prevent future large asteroid impacts on Earth.
Hear from Dr. Edward Lu, Executive Director of Asteroid Institute and 3x NASA astronaut, Google Cloud CTO Will Grannis, and Google Cloud Sr. Technical Director Massimo Mascaro, on how the power and scalability of Google Cloud has helped Asteroid Institute discover hidden asteroids in existing astronomical data, and how this highly computationally complex process will forever change the future of astronomy and asteroid discovery.
