Here sits the white dome of an observatory that runs the Mount Lemmon Survey (MLS). The survey is part of the Catalina Sky Survey - one of the most prolific surveys for detecting near earth objects. On January 3, the survey first detected a tiny moving dot on its computer screens, shifting it's position against a fixed background of stars.
