<title>Near Earth Objects (NEOs) & Potentially Hazardous Asteroids (PHAs)</title>

Some intro reading materials about NEOs and PHAs.

    • Read “NEO Basics”
    • There are other useful info in this website including: (1) NEO orbit into, (2) impact risk, (3) discovery statistics, (4) recent flybys (“fireballs”), and (5) other (potentially technical) documents.

There are various levels of interest in NEOs PHAs.

China is getting serious about planetary defense .

NASA/JPL CNEOS

Check CNEOS for various discovery statistics and database of NEOs.
