I like to imagine that there’s something out there looking back at us, asking itself the same questions about extraterrestrial life that we do.

Wondering what causes the flickering on the video?

The search programs have found nearly all the 1 km+ size "potentially hazardous objects" (come within 5% of the Earth's orbit size). They are working on the 140 meter and up size (city killers).

That’s some luck right there. Was this the original crop? The color gradient is so cool.

That's why this person couldn't find any results, they are all hidden in duckduckgo...

Yet it's plausable that you have a telescope in your window as opposed to opera glasses??

Amateur Telescope Making. There's a list of books and links in the article.

Astronomical telescopes are designed to focus at "infinity", since everything is so far away. Also if you are spying, fold up opera glasses or binoculars are less obvious.

There are already dedicated telescopes like Atlas. A much bigger survey telescope is under construction, the Rubin Observatory. It is expected to increase discoveries by a factor of 10.
