NASA announced Monday that will provide $35,000 in prizes for improved computer algorithms designed to look for asteroids. The competition, being run in cooperation with asteroid mining company Planetary Resources, will award the prizes for the best algorithms developed by "citizen scientists" over the next six months that can detect asteroids in series of astronomical images. The competition is part of the Asteroid Grand Challenge, an agency initiative to detect all the asteroids that pose a potential threat to the Earth.
