The Near-Earth Object Program is a NASA initiative focused on identifying and tracking asteroids and comets that come close to Earth's orbit. These objects, known as Near-Earth Objects (NEOs), can pose potential threats to our planet. The program aims to detect these celestial bodies early to assess their size, trajectory, and any possible impact risk. Through various telescopes and space missions, the program collects data to better understand NEOs. This information helps scientists develop strategies for planetary defense, ensuring that if a hazardous object is found, appropriate measures can be taken to protect Earth and its inhabitants.
