NEO Surveyor in an Infrared Starfield

This artist's concept depicts NASA's Near-Earth Object (NEO) Surveyor traveling through an infrared starfield populated with stars, glowing nebulae, and hundreds of asteroids. The vibrant background is based on observations from NASA's WISE mission, creating a scientifically inspired vision of deep space.

Designed as NASA's first dedicated planetary defense space telescope, NEO Surveyor will search for asteroids and comets that could pose a future hazard to Earth. Its infrared instruments will detect objects that are difficult to observe using visible-light telescopes, helping improve humanity's ability to identify potentially hazardous near-Earth objects.
