Reactivated NASA asteroid-hunting probe takes first photos in 2.5 years

22 December 2013

The NEOWISE spacecraft has taken its first set of test images since being reactivated in September after a 2.5-year-long hibernation. NEOWISE will resume its hunt for potentially dangerous asteroids, some of which could be targets for human exploration.
