Astronomers discover many asteroids and comets each year, some of which are near-Earth objects (NEOs) that move through the inner solar system. NASA-funded researchers track these objects to identify potential threats to Earth. To help visualize them, NASA launched Eyes on Asteroids, a 3D real-time tool that shows NEOs moving through Earth’s orbital neighborhood.
