Can an asteroid be seen?
yes any asteroid can be seen which is in our solar system can be seen.they are very small so they can not be seen through the naked eye(but an asteroid called vesta which was discovered in 1807 is the only asteroid which can be seen).you will need a telescope to see and to observe asteroids but since space is dark and also since asteroids are small and dark we can see them even better through bigger telescopes,radio telescopes, and orbiting telescopes(Hubble).

What was the name of an asteroid that hit the earth in 2008?
It is rare for astronomers to be able to see an asteroid that is going to hit the Earth, but it DID happen in 2008. The asteroid 2008 TC3 was seen about a day before it landed. The fireball was visible from airliners hundreds of miles away, but I do not believe that any actual impact crater has been located. The reason why it is so rare to see an asteroid before it hits are, one, most things that hit the Earth are pretty small, and difficult to see in space. And two, if it is going to hit the Earth, then the bearing of the object won't change; it won't appear to move across the sky, but just be sitting right there in the sky looking like a dim star. And until it gets really close, no one will notice that is getting closer and closer!

How many hours in a day on the asteroid belt?
The "day" on any object in the solar system is very nearly the length of time the object takes to rotate on its axis ... or the length of time between as seen from its surface. The "asteroid belt" is a loosely contiguous group of millions of individual objects, and each one has its own "day".

A black hole, exoplanets. It has always been inferred.
What unit of measurement do astronomers use to measure the size of stars?
I have usually seen them quoted in kilometers.
How do astronomers know about stars if they can't travel to space?
They can be seen in telescopes and instruments can measure their light, etc.
