Understanding Asteroid Tracking
Asteroid tracking monitors near-Earth objects that pass close to our planet. Over 34,000 NEOs are currently tracked. Our asteroid counter trackstotal objects monitored, potentially hazardous asteroids, and new discoveries.
Also known as NEO monitoring, planetary defense, and impact hazard assessment, this metric is closely related to NASA, ESA, and space safety.
Our asteroid data covers multiple dimensions including by size, by threat level (PHA), by orbit type, and discovery rate.
