About Near-Earth Objects (NEOs)

Near-Earth Objects (NEOs) are comets and asteroids that have been nudged by the gravitational attraction of nearby planets into orbits that allow them to enter the Earth's neighborhood. Composed mostly of water ice with embedded dust particles, comets originally formed in the cold outer planetary system while most of the rocky asteroids formed in the warmer inner solar system between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter.

NASA’s Planetary Defense Coordination Office (PDCO) tracks these objects to identify potential impact threats. An object is considered "Potentially Hazardous" if it comes within 4.6 million miles of Earth and is larger than about 150 meters (500 feet).
