Hace 4 días · published 2 June 2024. Potentially hazardous asteroids pose a risk to Mars missions, but they can also yield insight into the history of the Red Planet and the early solar system, new research...
Hace 2 días · The vast majority of minor planets are evenly distributed between the inner-, central and outer parts of the asteroid belt, which are separated by the two Kirkwood gaps at 2.5 and 2.82 AU. Nearly 97.5% of all minor planets are main-belt asteroids (MBA), while Jupiter trojans , Mars-crossing and near-Earth asteroids each account for less than 1% of the overall population.
The dashboard displays the next five Earth approaches to within 4.6 million miles (7.5 million kilometers or 19.5 times the distance to the moon); an object larger than about 150 meters that can approach the Earth to within this distance is termed a potentially hazardous object.

Hace 2 días · Last update: 2024-06-04 15:01 UTC. Current number of NEAs in risk list: 1623. The Risk List is a catalogue of all objects for which a non-zero impact probability has been computed. Each entry contains details on the particular Earth approach which poses the highest risk of impact (as expressed by the Palermo Scale).
Hace 4 días · Every month dozens of NEAs come within 0.05 au of Earth. The following table presents the list of these forthcoming and recent close approaches, with details concerning the encounter circumstances.
Hace 13 horas · A bus-sized asteroid named 2024 JP1 is approaching Earth at 14,400 kilometers per hour, closely monitored by astronomers. Despite its fast speed, it's not considered a threat, expected to pass by at a safe distance of 7.07 million kilometers on June 1.
