Asteroid IMpacts and Planetary Ecology

NEAR - First spacecraft to orbit an asteroid, to answer fundamental questions about the nature and origin of near-Earth objects, such as the numerous asteroids and comets in the vicinity of Earth's orbit. First launch in the Discovery Program, a NASA initiative for small planetary missions.

Asteroid IMpacts and Planetary Ecology

Three thousand asteroids have been discovered throughout the universe. Scientists think thousands more asteroids still exist out in space. Asteroids are the largest of space rocks.

Asteroid 433 On December 23, 1998 the Near-Earth Asteroid Rendezvous (NEAR) spacecraft flew past asteroid 433 Eros. What was going to be an insertion into orbit around the asteroid turned into a flyby when the rendezvous burn of the NEAR spacecraft's bipropellant engine aborted.

Asteroid 951 Gaspra from 16,000 km Target Object: Gaspra Mission: Galileo Part of asteroid 951 Gaspra from 5350 km Target Object: Gaspra Mission: Galileo

The asteroid that wiped out the dinosaurs was particularly deadly because it hit the Yucatan peninsula at an oblique angle, spreading a killing zone of matter downrange, according to a new study.

Astronomers agree that roughly 10 percent of near-Earth objects larger than 0.5 mile (1 km) in diameter have been discovered and a new report suggests that Earth could be on the inner fringe of a hitherto undiscovered asteroid belt.

A new scale that will quantify the risk of an asteroid or comet hitting the Earth has been adopted by the International Astronomical Union.

The asteroid Gaspra: Courtesy of the Jet Propulsion Laboratories. Introduction In the early 1600's, the astronomer Johannes Kepler formulated laws which described the shape and size of the planetary orbits.

Astronomers Use New Scale to Judge Impact Hazards In early June of this year, many of the major figures in near-Earth-object research met in Torino, Italy at an international workshop on NEOs called IMPACT -- International Monitoring Programs for Asteroid and Comet Threats.

Astronomers estimate that a one-mile-wide asteroid will come very close to the Earth in the year 2028. This asteroid is one of hundreds of known asteroids that cross the Earth's
