\n AHMEDABAD, India \u2013 Two teenage girls from India have discovered an Earth-bound asteroid by poring through images from a University of Hawaii telescope, an Indian space education institute said on Monday.<\/p>\n

The asteroid is presently near Mars and its orbit is expected to cross that of Earth in about one million years\u2019 time, said SPACE India, a private institute where the two 14-year-old girls received training.<\/p>\n

\u201cI look forward to\u2026 when we will get a chance to name the asteroid,\u201d said Vaidehi Vekariya, who added that she wants to become an astronaut when she is older.<\/p>\n

The asteroid, currently called HLV2514, may be officially christened only after NASA confirms its orbit, a SPACE India spokeswoman said.<\/p>\n

Radhika Lakhani, the other student, said she was working hard on her education. \u201cI don\u2019t even have a TV at home so that I can concentrate on my studies.\u201d<\/p>\n

Asteroids and comets pose a potential threat to Earth and scientists discover thousands of them each year. In 2013, an asteroid heavier than the Eiffel Tower exploded over central Russia, leaving more than 1,000 people injured from its shockwave.<\/p>\n

The two girls, who hail from the western Indian city of Surat, discovered the object as part of an asteroid search campaign conducted by SPACE India along with the International Astronomical Search Collaboration (IASC), a NASA-affiliated citizen scientist group.<\/p>\n

IASC Director J. Patrick Miller confirmed the discovery, according to an email from him to the girls seen by Reuters.<\/p>\n

The girls used specialized software to analyze the images snapp<\/a>ed by the Pan-STARRS telescope in Hawaii and made the discovery in June, SPACE India said.<\/p>\n

The institute is among the few private space education initiatives in India, a country known for championing low-cost space technology<\/a> that has spurred missions to the moon and Mars.\n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
