More than 30,000 asteroids are traveling on paths that bring them close to Earth . Some are giant boulders with the potential to smash into our planet, and others are little rocks known as minimoons moving harmlessly alongside Earth. For half a century, Richard Binzel , an astronomer at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), has dedicated his career to studying them. Live Science spoke with Binzel about minimoons and how these little rocks could eventually help humanity take its first trip to Mars. Related: Undiscovered 'minimoons' may orbit Earth. Could they help us become an interplanetary species ? Q&A with MIT astronomer Richard Binzel Kiley Price: Tell me how you got interested in minimoons and near-Earth asteroids.
