    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Near-Earth_objects

    Articles about near-Earth objects, including any small Solar System body whose orbit brings it into proximity with Earth. By convention, a Solar System body is a NEO if its closest approach to the Sun ( perihelion ) is less than 1.3 astronomical units (AU).

  3. Object database - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Object_database

    Example of an object-oriented model [1] An object database or object-oriented database is a database management system in which information is represented in the form of objects as used in object-oriented programming. Object databases are different from relational databases which are table-oriented.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NEODyS

    NEODyS [1] (Near Earth Objects Dynamic Site) is an Italian service that provides information on near-Earth objects with a Web-based interface. It is based on a continually and (almost) automatically maintained database of near earth asteroid orbits. This site provides a number of services to the NEO community.

    As of September 2023, there are over 32,955 near-Earth objects of which roughly 1,620 near-Earth asteroids are listed on the risk table. [1] Only around 19 objects on the risk table are large enough to qualify as potentially hazardous objects with a diameter greater than 140 meters (absolute magnitude brighter than 22). About 99% of the objects ...

    Lowell Observatory Near-Earth-Object Search (LONEOS) was a project designed to discover asteroids and comets that orbit near the Earth. The project, funded by NASA, was directed by astronomer Ted Bowell of Lowell Observatory in Flagstaff, Arizona. The LONEOS project began in 1993 and ran until the end of February 2008.

  7. Near-Earth object - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Near-Earth_object

    Near-Earth comets (NECs) are objects in a near-Earth orbit with a tail or coma made up of dust, gas or ionized particles emitted by a solid nucleus. Comet nuclei are typically less dense than asteroids but they pass Earth at higher relative speeds, thus the impact energy of a comet nucleus is slightly larger than that of a similar-sized ...

  8. Object-based spatial database - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Object-based_spatial_database

    An object-based spatial database is a spatial database that stores the location as objects. The object-based spatial model treats the world as surface littered with recognizable objects (e.g. cities, rivers), which exist independent of their locations. Objects can be simple as polygons and lines, or be more complex to represent cities.
