   ...A little more than two years from now, the NEO   
   Surveyor is scheduled to launch to a Sun-Earth Lagrange point. This   
   NASA-backed instrument will survey the Solar System for threats to   
   Earth.

   The threats difficult to detect from Earth are coming from nearly the   
   direction of the Sun after looping around it, with the dark side toward us.   
   A telescope at the L1 point can hopefully see them brightly lit as and after   
   they pass and before they reach us.
