NEAR EARTH OBJECTS

WELCOME
 
 
Over the past fifty years scientists have discovered that asteroids and comets have collided with the Earth throughout its 4.5 billion year history. The impact of these Near Earth Objects with our planet can be catastrophic and still represents a natural hazard today.  National Space Centre Rocket Tower  
The Near Earth Object Information Centre is part of the UK Government's response to the Report of the Task Force on Potentially Hazardous Near Earth Objects. Our aim is to provide the public, educators and media with accurate, non-sensationalised information. We also submit regular reports to the UK Government on close approaches and newly discovered object that could potentially threaten Earth.
