<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 **.
