Near-Earth Asteroid Tracking (NEAT) was a program run by NASA and the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, surveying the sky for near-Earth objects.NEAT was conducted from December 1995 until April 2007, at GEODSS on Hawaii (Haleakala-NEAT; 566), as well as at Palomar Observatory in California (Palomar-NEAT; 644).

The Sentinel Space Telescope was [1] a space observatory to be developed by Ball Aerospace & Technologies for the B612 Foundation. [ 2 ] [ 3 ] The B612 Foundation is dedicated to protecting the Earth from dangerous asteroid strikes and Sentinel was to be the Foundation's first spacecraft tangibly to address that mission.

The first LINEAR telescope became fully operational in March 1998. [8] Beginning in October 1999, a second 1.0 m telescope was added to the search effort. [ 9 ] In 2002, a 0.5 m (20 in) telescope equipped with the original CCD was brought on-line to provide follow-up observations for the discoveries made by the two search telescopes. [ 10 ]
Nasa has issued an alert for a stadium-sized asteroid set to make a close approach to Earth on Tuesday.. The 2024 ON asteroid measures 290 metres (950 feet) across and will come within 1 million ...
The asteroid with the greatest chance of impacting Earth in 2025 is 2009 VA (6-meters in diameter) with less than a 1-day observation arc. [8] It has a 1:48,000 chance of impact on 06 November 2023, but is expected to be around 0.3 AU (45 million km ) from Earth on that date with uncertainty region of ± 900 million km. [ 10 ]
