Space Object
A "Space Object" refers to any natural or artificial entity located in outer space. This includes celestial bodies like planets, moons, asteroids, and comets, as well as human-made items such as satellites and spacecraft. These objects can vary greatly in size, composition, and behavior, playing significant roles in the study of astronomy and space exploration.
Space objects are often categorized based on their characteristics and orbits. For example, asteroids are rocky bodies primarily found in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter, while comets are icy objects that develop tails when they approach the Sun. Understanding these objects helps scientists learn more about the universe and its formation.
