The study is the largest ever on radar observations of near-Earth asteroids.
Asteroids threatening Earth could be spotted by network of spacecraft near Venus' orbit, Chinese scientists say
Overall the data is valuable in a number of ways, including holding potential clues to the evolution of the solar system and containing valuable information for future endeavors such as asteroid mining. "There's still a lot of high-quality data to be analyzed in detail, which could even support planning future spacecraft missions to small bodies," Flaviane Venditti, head of Arecibo's Planetary Radar Science Group and study co-author, noted in the statement.
The study leaves doors open for further research, according to Anne Virkki, the study's lead author and a researcher with the Department of Physics at the University of Helsinki in Finland, who describes the paper as"like a teaser for a full movie."
