Asteroid Events

Asteroid Events refer to occurrences related to the activity, impact, or observation of asteroids. This includes phenomena such as asteroid flybys, where an asteroid passes close to Earth; asteroid impacts, where an asteroid collides with Earth or another celestial body; and events related to the discovery or monitoring of asteroids. These events are significant for understanding the dynamics of our solar system, assessing potential threats to Earth, and studying the composition and behavior of these celestial objects. Asteroid Events may also encompass scientific missions aimed at exploring, deflecting, or mining asteroids, as well as public engagement activities that raise awareness of asteroids’ roles in astronomy and planetary defense.
