For anyone concerned about a possible asteroid that could destroy our planet, NASA has prepared a tool that allows everyone to literally “keep an eye on asteroids”. The Eyes on Asteroids app It’s web-based, doesn’t need to be downloaded, and automatically adds new Near Earth Objects (NEOs) for you to explore.
Available for any internet-connected device, whether it’s a smartphone, computer or tablet – Eyes on Asteroids is based on videos of thousands of asteroids and comets in real time, the next five approaches to Earth and past, present and future missions on these objects shows. Data from NASA’s Center for Near Earth Object Studies (CNEOS).
In addition to enabling observations, Eyes on Asteroids also shows scientific details about NEOs and the importance of tracking these potentially dangerous objects. Click to learn more about this science “Learn”, It describes and provides flight with asteroid approaches to Earth, including the dramatic flyby of Apophis, which will take place on April 13, 2029.
How does Eyes on Asteroids work?
Fully interactive Eyes on Asteroids displays the orbits of all known NEOs. There are about 28 thousand objects – split between thousands of asteroids and dozens of comets – individually trackable, using the slider at the bottom of the screen, going back and forth in time to follow their orbital movements.
In the “Events” tab, You can see animated models of NEO missions showing spacecraft encounters with asteroids or comets. For example, you can see the famous Touch and Go (TAG) event, where NASA’s OSIRIS-Rex spacecraft collected samples from the asteroid Bennu, which was selected as the target “time capsule” on October 20, 2020. U.S solar system.
To witness the next five asteroid approaches to Earth “Asteroid Watch”. “Headlines often describe these approaches as ‘dangerously close,’ but users will see using Eyes how far away most of these encounters really are,” explains Jason Craig of NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL).
