The Hubble telescope can only see stars as a Dot.
Why would anyone believe we could see tiny asteroids traveling through space.

Because the asteroids we need to “worry” about are a LOT closer. The problem with asteroids is that some are dark, and some come at us from angles near the sun. Both makes it especially tough to pick ‘em up on approach.
