New Class of Asteroids Created Identifies 'Easily Retrievable Objects'
Besides offering insight into the formation, evolution and composition of the solar system, asteroids could one day prove a veritable source of much needed resources as humankind continues to grow in leaps and bounds. However, before this can happen, scientists have yet to determine a way to retrieve or otherwise access them. For this reason, researchers from the University of Strathclyde in the UK have run an analysis of all currently known Near-Earth Objects (NEOs) in order to determine a new category: Easily Retrievable Objects (ESOs).
