Conventionally, a body of the solar system is a NEO if its closest approach to the sun (perihelion) is less than 1.3 astronomical units (AU). [2] If the orbit of a NEO crosses earth and the object is larger than 140 meters, it is considered a potentially dangerous object (PHO). [3] Most known PhOs and NEOs are asteroids, but a small fraction are comets. [1] There are more than 20,000 known near-Earth asteroids (NEAs), over a hundred near-Earth comets (NECs) in a short period of time[1], and a number of solar-orbiting meteoroids were large enough to be tracked in space before hitting Earth. It is now widely accepted that collisions in the past played an important role in shaping the geological and biological history of the Earth. [4] NeOs have become of increased interest since the 1980s due to greater awareness of this potential danger. up to 20 m can damage the local environment and populations. [5] Larger asteroids penetrate into the atmosphere to the Earth's surface and create craters when they tsunamis if they affect the sea. Asteroid impact avoidance through distraction is basically possible, and mitigation methods are being explored. [6] Two scales, the Turin scale and the more complex Palermo scale, assess a risk based on how likely the orbital calculations of an identified NEO are to make an impact and how bad the consequences of such an impact would be. Some NEOs had temporarily positive Torino or Palermo scale ratings after their discovery, but as of March 2018[update], more accurate calculations based on longer observation sheets in all cases led to a reduction in the rating to or below 0. [7] Since 1998, the United States, the European Union, and other nations have been scanning the skies for NEOs in an action called Spaceguard. [8] The original mandate of the US Congress to NASA was to catalog at least 90% of NEOs with a diameter of at least one kilometer (0.62 miles), which could cause a global disaster, and had been fulfilled by 2011. [9] In later years, the survey effort[10] was extended to smaller objects[11] that have the potential for major, if not global, damage. NEOs have low surface gravity, and many have Earth-like orbits that make them easy targets for spacecraft. [12] [13] Since January 2019[update], five near-Earth comets[14][15][16] and five near-Earth asteroids have been visited by spacecraft. [17] [18] [19] [20] [21] A small sample of a NEO was returned to Earth in 2010, and similar missions are underway. [20] [21] Preliminary plans for commercial asteroid mining were designed by private startups. [Quote Required] Definitions diagram of the orbits of known potentially dangerous asteroids (size over 140 m (460 ft) and passing within 7.6×10 to 6 km (4.7×10.6 miles) of Earth's orbit) from the beginning of 2013 (alternative image) Near-Earth objects (NEOs) are technically and conventionally defined as all small solar system bodies with orbits around the sun, some of which are between 0.983 and 1.3 astronomical units (AU; Sun-Earth Distance) from the Sun. [22] [23] For example, NEOs are not necessarily close to Earth at the moment, but they may be relatively close to Earth. The term is also sometimes used more flexibly, for example for objects in orbit around the Earth or for quasi-satellites,[24] that have a more complex orbital relationship with Earth. When a NEO is detected, like all other small bodies in the solar system, its positions and brightness are transmitted to the Minor Planet Center (MPC) of the International Astronomical Union (IAU) for cataloging. The MPC maintains separate lists of confirmed NEOs and Neos. [25] [26] The orbits of some NEOs intersect those of the Earth, so that they pose a risk of collision. [3] These are considered potentially dangerous objects (PHOs) if their estimated diameter is over 140 meters. The MPC maintains a separate list of asteroids among PhOs that could potentially (PHAs). [27] NEOs are also cataloged by two separate units of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration's (NASA) Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL): the Center for Near Earth Object Studies (CNEOS)[28] and the Solar System Dynamics Group. [29] PHAs are currently defined on the basis of parameters related to their potential to approach the Earth dangerously close and the estimated consequences of impact. [2] Most often, objects with a minimum earth orbit alpaca distance (MOID) of 0.05 AE or less and an absolute magnitude of 22.0 or brighter (a rough indicator of large size) are considered PHAs. Objects that can't get closer to Earth (i.e. MOID) than 0.05 AU (7,500,000 km; 4,600,000 miles), or weaker than H = 22.0 (approx. 140 m (460 ft) in diameter with assumed albedo of 14%) are not considered AS PHAs. [2] NASA's catalog of near-Earth objects also includes the proximity distances of asteroids and comets (expressed in lunar distances). [30] History of human consciousness of NEOs 1910 drawing the path of Halley's comet The near Earth asteroid 433 Eros was visited by a probe in the 1990s The first near-Earth objects observed by humans were comets. Their extraterrestrial nature was only recognized and confirmed after Tycho Brahe tried to measure the distance of a comet by its parallax in 1577, and the lower limit it received was far above the Earth's diameter; the periodicity of some comets was first recognized in 1705, when Edmond Halley published his orbit calculations for the returning object, now known as Halley's comet. [31] The return of Halley's comet 1758-1759 was the first pre-predicted comet appearance. [32] It was said that Lexell's comet of 1770 was the first near-Earth object discovered. [33] The first near-Earth asteroid to be discovered was 433 Eros in 1898. [34] The asteroid has undergone several extensive observation campaigns, mainly because measurements of its orbit made it possible to accurately determine the then imperfectly known distance of the Earth from the Sun. [35] In 1937, asteroid 69230 Hermes was discovered when it passed Earth twice the distance from the moon. [36] Hermes was considered a threat because it was lost after its discovery; its orbit and its potential for collision with Earth were not known. [37] Hermes was only rediscovered in 2003, and it is now known that it does not pose a threat, at least for the next century. [36] On June 14, 1968, asteroid 1566 Icarus, 1.4 km in diameter, passed Earth at a distance of 0.042482 Au (6,355,200 km) or 16 times as far as the moon. [38] During this approach, Ikaper was the first small planet observed with radar, with measurements at the Haystack Observatory[39] and the Goldstone Tracking Station. [40] This was the first narrow approach predicted years in advance (Icarus had been discovered in 1949), also attracted a great deal of public attention through alarmist messages. [37] A year before the launch, MIT students launched the Icarus project and invented a plan to deflect the asteroid with rockets if it was on a collision course with Earth. [41] The Icarus project received widespread media coverage and inspired the 1979 disaster film Meteor, in which the US and the USSR join forces to blow up an Earth-bound fragment of an asteroid hit by a comet. [42] On March 23, 1989, the 300 m Apollo asteroid 4581 Asklepios (1989 FC) missed Earth by 700,000 km. Had the asteroid struck, it would have caused the largest explosion in recorded history, equivalent to 20,000 megatons of TNT. It attracted a lot of attention because it was only discovered after the next approach. [43] In March 1998, early orbit calculations for the recently discovered asteroid (35396) 1997 XF11 showed a possible approach in 2028 by 0.00031 AU (46,000 km) from Earth, far in the moon's orbit, but with a large margin of error that enabled a direct hit. Further data allowed a revision of the approach distance in 2028 to 0.0064 AU (960,000 km), without risk of collision. At that time, inaccurate reports of a possible impact had triggered a media storm. [37] Known Near-Earth Objects - as of January 2018Video (0:55; July 23, 2018) RiskAsteroid 4179 Toutatis is a potentially dangerous object that passed within 4 lunar distances in September 2004 and currently has a minimum possible distance of 2.5 lunar distances. Since the end of the 1990s, the scientific risk concept has been a typical frame of reference for the search for NEOs. The risk posed by any near-Earth object is seen both in terms of culture and the technology of human society. Throughout history, people have associated NEOs with changing risks based on religious, philosophical, or scientific views, as well as humanity's technological or economic ability to deal with such risks. [6] NEOs were seen as the omens of natural disasters or wars; harmless glasses in an immutable universe; the source of leaking cataclysms[6] or potentially toxic vapours (during the passage of the earth through the tail of Halley's comet sands in 1910); [44] and finally as a possible cause of a crater-forming impact that could even lead to the extinction of humans and other life on Earth. [6] The potential of catastrophic impacts from near-Earth comets was detected as soon as the first orbit calculations provided an understanding of their orbits: Edmond Halley presented a theory that Noah's flood in the Bible was caused by a comet impact. [45] Human perception of near-Earth asteroids as benign objects of fascination or high-risk killer objects for human society has been diminished and flowed in the short time that NEAs have been scientifically observed. [13] Scientists have impacts that produce craters that are much larger than the impactable bodies and have had indirect effects on an even larger area since the 1980s, after a theory was confirmed that the Cretaceous-paleogenic extinction event (in which dinosaurs died) was caused by a large asteroid impact 65 million years ago. [46] The general public's awareness of the risk of impact increased after observing the effects of the fragments of Comet Shoemaker–Levy 9 on Jupiter in July 1994. [6] [46] In 1998, the films Deep Impact and Armageddon spread the idea that near-Earth objects could cause catastrophic effects. [46] At that time, too, a conspiracy theory emerged about the alleged influence of the fictional planet Nibiru in 2003, which persisted on the Internet when the predicted effective date was postponed to 2012 and then to 2017. [47] Risk scales There are two schemes for the scientific classification of impact hazards of NEOs: the simple Turin scale, which assesses the risks of impact over the next 100 years by impact energy and impact probability by using integers between 0 and 10; [48] [49] and the more complex Palermo Technical Impact Hazard Scale, which attributes ratings that can be any positive or negative actual number; These ratings depend on the background impact frequency, probability, and time to potential impact. [50] On both scales, risks of any concern are indicated by values above zero. [48] [50] The annual background frequency used in the Palermo scale for energy exposures greater than E-megatonnes is estimated to be:[50] f B = 0.03 E - 0.8 display style f_-B- =0.03E-0.8-% For example, this formula implies that the expected value of time from now until the next impact is greater than 1 megaton, and that if it occurs, it is greater than 1 megaton, and that if it occurs, , there is a 50% probability that it will exceed 2.4 megatonnes. This formula is only valid for a specific range of E. However, another paper[51], published in 2002 – the same year as the paper on which the Palermo scale is based – found a power law with different constants: f B = 0.00737 E - 0.9 display style f_=0.00737E-0.9. This formula indicates significantly lower rates for a given E. For example, there is the rate for bolts of 10 megatons or more (like the Tunguska explosion) than 1 per thousand years, instead of 1 per 210 years as in the Palermo formula. However, the authors give a fairly large degree of uncertainty (once in 400 to 1800 years for 10 megatons), which is partly due to uncertainties in determining the energies of atmospheric impacts. which they have used in their determination. Highly rated Risks NASA maintains an automated system to assess the threat posed by known NEOs over the next 100 years that generates the constantly updated Sentry Risk Table. [7] All or almost all objects are likely to be removed from the list as more observations come in, which means that uncertainties and enable more accurate orbital predictions. [52] In March 2002 (163132) 2002, CU11 became the first asteroid with a temporarily positive rating on the Torino scale, with a probability of 1 to 9,300 in 2049. [53] Additional observations reduced the estimated risk to zero, and the asteroid was removed from the Sentry Risk Table in April 2002. [54] It is now known that in the next two centuries, 2002 CU11 will pass the Earth in a safe vicinity (perigee) of 0.00425 AU (636,000 km; 395,000 mi) on August 31, 2080. [55] Radar image of asteroid 1950 DA Asteroid 1950 DA was lost after its discovery in 1950, as its observations over only 17 days were not sufficient to determine its orbit; it was rediscovered on 31 December 2000. It has a diameter of about one kilometer. It was also observed by radar during its close approach in 2001, allowing much more accurate orbit almanship calculations. Although this asteroid will not strike for at least 800 years and therefore does not have a Torino scale, it was added to the Sentry list in April 2002 because it was the first object with a Palermo scale greater than zero. [56] [57] The maximum impact probability of 1 to 300 calculated at the time and the scale value of +0.17 Palermo up to 2880 were about 50% higher than the background risk that all similarly sized objects would act. [58] The uncertainties in orbit calculations were further reduced by radar observations in 2012, which reduced the likelihood of impact. [59] Taking into account all radar and optical observations up to 2015, the probability of impact from March 2018[update] is estimated at 1 in 8,300. [7] The corresponding Palermo scale value of €1.42 is still the highest for all objects in the Sentry list table. [7] As of May 2019[update], only one other object (2009 FD) has a Palermo scale value of more than €2 for a single impact date. [7] On December 24, 2004, the 370 m asteroid 99942 Apophis (then known by its provisional designation 2004 MN4) received a 4 on the Turin scale, the highest rating ever given, as the information available at the time represented a 2.7% chance of an Earth impact on Friday, 13 April 2029. By December 28, 2004, additional observations had led to a smaller uncertainty zone for the 2029 approach, which no longer included the Earth. As a result, the impact risk in 2029 dropped to zero, but later potential impact dates were still rated 1 on the Turin scale. Further observations lowered this risk for 2036 to a Torino rating of 0 in August 2006. From March 2018[update] calculations show that Apophis has no chance of making the Earth before 2060 [7] In February 2006 (144898) 2004, VD17 was assessed on the basis of a close encounter with rating 2 predicted for 4 May 2102. [60] After more detailed calculations, the rating was lowered to 1 in May 2006 and 0 in October 2006, and the asteroid was completely from the Sentry Risk Table in February 2008. [54] As of March 2018[update], RF12 is listed with the highest probability of affecting Earth on September 5, 2095, with the highest probability of affecting Earth. At just 7 m (23 ft), however, the asteroid is far too small to be considered a potentially dangerous asteroid, and it does not pose a serious threat: the potential impact of 2095 is therefore only USD 3.32 on the Palermo scale. [7] Observations during the near approach in August 2022 are expected to determine whether asteroid 2095 will affect Earth. [61] Projects to Minimize Threat Main Article: Asteroid Impact Avoidance Annual NEA Discoveries by Survey: All NEAs (above) and NEAs > 1 km (below) NEOWISE – first four years of data from December 2013 (animated; April 20, 2018) The first astronomical program dedicated to the discovery of near-Earth asteroids was the Palomar Planet-Crossing Asteroid Survey, launched in 1973 by astronomers Eugene Shoemaker and Eleanor Helin. [13] The connection with the risk of impact, the need for special survey telescopes and options to ward off a possible influence were first discussed at an interdisciplinary conference in Snowmass, Colorado, in 1981. [46] Plans for a more comprehensive survey called the Spaceguard Survey were developed by NASA in 1992 on behalf of the United States CONGRESS. [62] [63] In order to promote the survey at international level, the International Astronomical Union (IAU) organized a workshop in Vulcano, Italy, in 1995,[62] and a year later founded the Spaceguard Foundation in Italy. [8] In 1998, the United States Congress commissioned NASA to detect 90% of near-Earth asteroids with a diameter of 1 km (threatening global devastation) by 2008. [63] [64] Several studies have carried out Spaceguard activities (a generic term), including Lincoln Near-Earth Asteroid Research (LINEAR), Spacewatch, Near-Earth Asteroid Tracking (NEAT), Lowell Observatory Near-Earth-Object Search (LONEOS), Catalina Sky Survey (CSS), Campo Imperatore Near-Earth Object Survey (CINEOS), Japanese Spaceguard Association, Asiago- DLR Asteroid Survey (ADAS) As a result, the ratio of known and estimated total earth-to-Earth asteroids with a diameter of more than 1 km increased from about 20% in 2098 to 65% in 2004. [8] 80% in 2006,[64] and 93% in 2011. The original Spaceguard goal was thus achieved, only three years late. [9] [65] On June 12, 2018[update], 893 NEAs over 1 km were discovered,[1] or 97% of the estimated total of about 920. [66] In 2005, the original mandate of the USA Spaceguard was created by George E. Brown, Jr. Object Survey Act, which calls on NASA to detect 90% of NEOs with a diameter of 140 m or more by 2020. [10] In January 2020, less than half of these were estimated to have been found, but objects of this size hit Earth about once in 2000 years. [67] In January 2016, NASA announced the establishment of the Planetary Defense Coordination Office (PDCO) to track NEOs with a diameter of more than 30-50 m and to coordinate an effective threat response and mitigation efforts. [11] [68] Survey programs aim to identify threats years in advance and give humanity time to prepare a space mission to avert the threat. Rep. Stewart:... Are we technologically capable of launching something that could intercept [an asteroid]? ... DR. A'HEARN: No. If we already had spacecraft plans in the books, it would take a year ... I mean a typical little mission ... It takes four years from approval to launch ...— Rep. Chris Stewart (R, UT) and Dr. Michael F. A'Hearn, April 10, 2013, United States Congress[69] The ATLAS project aims to find impacting asteroids just before impact, far too late for distraction maneuvers, but still in time to evacuate and otherwise prepare the affected Earth region. [70] Another project, the Zwicky Transient Facility (ZTF), which examines objects that quickly change their brightness[71], also detects asteroids passing near Earth. [72] Further information: List of near-Earth object observation projects Scientists involved in NEO research have also explored ways to actively avert the threat when an object is on a collision course with Earth. [46] All practicable methods aim to distract rather than destroy the threatening NEO, as the fragments would still cause widespread destruction. [14] The deflection, i.e. a change in the orbit of the object months to years before the predicted impact, also requires orders of magnitude less energy. [14] Number and classification Cumulative discoveries of near-Earth asteroids known by size, 1980-2019 Near-Earth objects are classified as meteoroids, asteroids or comets depending on size, composition, and orbit. Those who are asteroids can also be members of an asteroid family, and comets generate meteoroid streams that can generate meteor showers. On January 8, 2019[Update], 19,470 NEOs were discovered according to statistics from CNEOS. Only 107 (0.55%) of which comets, while 19,363 (99.45%) are asteroids. 1,955 of these NEOs are classified as potentially dangerous asteroids (PHAs). [1] On January 8, 2019[update], 893 NEAs will appear on the Sentry Impact Risk page on NASA's website. [7] A significant number of these NEAs have a maximum diameter of 50 meters and none of the listed objects is also in the green zone (Torino scale 1), which means that none of the deserved by the public. [48] Observational distortions The main problem in estimating the number of NEOs is that the detection readiness of one is influenced by a number of its characteristics, starting naturally with its size, but also with the characteristics of its What is easy to see is more counted[74], and these observational distortions must be compensated when trying to calculate the number of bodies in a population from the list of their recognized members. [73] Larger asteroids reflect more light[74] and the two largest near-Earth objects, 433 Eros and 1036 Ganymede, were of course among the first to be discovered. [75] 1036 Ganymede has a diameter of about 35 km and 433 eros a diameter of about 17 km. [75] The other important detection distortion is that it is much easier to detect objects on the night side of the Earth. There is much less noise from the bright sky, and the viewfinder looks at the sunlit side of the asteroids. In the day sky, a viewfinder looking at the sun sees the back of the object (e.g. the nocturnal comparison of a full moon with a new moon in the day). In addition, the wave of opposition makes them even brighter when the earth is along the axis of sunlight. The light of the sun that hits asteroids, was considered a full asteroid similar to a full moon and the greater amount of light creates a distortion that they are easier to detect in this case. [74] After all, the daysky near the sun is much brighter than the night sky. [74] Constant of this bias, more than half (53%) of the known Near Earth objects were discovered in only 3.8% of the sky, in a 22.5° cone that is directly from the sun, and the vast majority (87%) were first found in only 15% of the sky, in the 45° cone away from the sun, as shown in the diagram below. [76] One way to avoid this opposition bias is to use thermal infrared telescopes that observe their heat emissions, rather than the light they reflect. [74] The bias in the discovery of near-Earth objects related to the relative positions of Earth and solar asteroids with orbits that make them spend more time on the day side of the Earth is therefore less likely to be discovered than those that spend most of their time beyond Earth's orbit. For example, one study found that detection of bodies in earth-crossing orbits with low eccentricity is preferred, making the likelihood of Atens being discovered more likely than Apollos. [77] Such observational distortions need to be identified and quantified to determine NEO populations, since studies of asteroid populations then take into account these known observational selection distortions in order to make a more accurate assessment. [78] In 2000, it was estimated that 900 near-Earth asteroids of at least kilometres were observed, taking into account all known observational distortions. or technically and more accurately with an absolute magnitude brighter than 17.75. [73] Near-Earth asteroids (NEAs) Asteroids Toutatis of Paranal These are asteroids in a near-Earth orbit without a comet's denum or coma. As of March 5, 2020[update], 22,261 near-Earth asteroids are known, of which 1,955 are large enough and considered potentially dangerous. [1] NEAs survive only a few million years in their orbits. [22] They are eventually eliminated by planetary disturbances, resulting in ejection from the solar system or a collision with the sun, planet, or other celestial body. [22] Since the orbital lifespan is short compared to the age of the solar system, new asteroids must be constantly moved into near-Earth orbits to explain the observed asteroids. The accepted origin of these asteroids is that asteroids of the main belt are moved by orbital resonances with Jupiter into the inner solar system. [22] Interaction with Jupiter through resonance disrupts the asteroid's orbit and enters the inner solar system. The asteroid belt has gaps, known as Kirkwood gaps, where these resonances occur, as the asteroids in these resonances have been moved to other orbits. New asteroids are migrating into these resonances due to the Yarkovsky effect, which provides a continuous supply of near-Earth asteroids. [79] Compared to the total mass of the asteroid belt, the mass loss required to maintain the NEA population is relatively small; less than 6% in total over the last 3.5 billion years. [22] The composition of near-Earth asteroids is similar to that of asteroids from the asteroid belt, which reflect a variety of asteroid spectral types. [80] A small number of NEAs are extinct comets that have lost their volatile surface materials, although a weak or intermittent comet-like tail does not necessarily result in a classification as an erdnaher comet, which makes the boundaries somewhat blurred. The rest of the near-Earth asteroids are driven out of the asteroid belt by gravitational interactions with Jupiter. [22] [81] Many asteroids have natural satellites (small planet moons). In February 2019[update], 74 NEAs were known to have at least one moon, including three known to have two moons. [82] Asteroid 3122 Florence, one of the largest PHAs[27] with a diameter of 4.5 km, has two moons with an area of 100-300 m (330-980 ft) discovered by radar images during the asteroid's approach to Earth in 2017. [83] Size distribution Known near-Earth asteroids by size While the size of a small fraction of these asteroids is known, it is known to be more than 1%, from radar observations, from images of the asteroid surface or from stellar occultations, the diameter of the vast majority of nearby asteroids was estimated only on the basis of their brightness and a representative asteroid surface reflectivity or albedo. , which is generally considered to be 14% Is. [28] Such indirect size estimates are more than a factor of 2 for individual asteroids, as asteroid albedos can be at least 0.05 and up to 0.3. This makes the volume of these asteroids by a factor of 8 uncertain, and their mass by at least as much, since their assumed density also insecurity. In this coarse method, an absolute magnitude of 17.75 corresponds to a diameter of approximately 1 km[28] and an absolute magnitude of 22.0 corresponds to a diameter of 140 m. [2] diameter of intermediate precision, better than from an assumed albedo, but not nearly as precise as direct measurements, can be obtained from the combination of reflected light and thermal infrared emission using a thermal model of the asteroid. In May 2016, the accuracy of such asteroid diameter estimates resulting from the Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer and NEOWISE missions was questioned by technologist Nathan Myhrvold,[84][85][86] His early initial critique was not a peer review[85][87] and faced criticism for its methodology itself,[88] but a revised version was later published. [89] [90] In 2000, NASA reduced its estimate of the number of existing near-Earth asteroids with a diameter of 1,000-2,000 to 500-1,000. [91] [92] Shortly thereafter, the LINEAR survey gave an alternative estimate of 1,227+170 to 90. [93] In 2011, the estimated number of NEAs was reduced to 981±19 (of which 93% at that time), while the number of NEAs was reduced to 981±19 (of which 93% at that time), while the number of NEAs was reduced to 981±19 , which were larger than 140 meters, was estimated at 13,200 ±1,900. [9] [65] The NEOWISE estimate differed from other estimates, especially in the assumption of a slightly lower average asteroid albedo that produces larger estimated diameters for the same asteroid brightness. This led to 911 then-known asteroids at least 1 km across, unlike the 830 then listed by CNEOS, which assumed a slightly higher albedo. [94] In 2017, two studies using an improved statistical method slightly reduced the estimated number of NEAs brighter than the absolute magnitude 17.75 (approximately one kilometer in diameter) to 921±20. [66] [95] The estimated number of asteroids that were brighter than the absolute magnitude of 22.0 (approximately 140 m) rose to 27,100±2,200, twice the WISE estimate [95] of which about a third was known as 2018. As of January 4, 2019, 897 NEAs listed by CNEOS will measure including 156 PHAs, a diameter of at least 1 km and 8,452 known NEAs with a diameter of more than 140 m. [1] The smallest known near-Earth asteroid is 2008 TS26 with an absolute magnitude of 33.2,[29] corresponding to an estimated diameter of about 1 m. [96] The largest such object is 1036 Ganymed [29] with an absolute magnitude of 9.45 and a directly measured equivalent diameter of about 38 km. [97] The number of asteroids that are lighter than H = 25, which corresponds to a diameter of about 40 m, is estimated at about 840,000 ±23,000, of which up to about 1.3 percent had been discovered in 2016; the number number Asteroids that are brighter than H = 30 (greater than 3.5 m) are estimated at about 400±100 million, of which about 0.003 percent had been discovered by February 2016. [95] Orbital classification Types of near-Earth asteroid orbits Near Earth asteroids are divided into groups, based on their half-sized axis (a), perihelion distance (q) and aphemono distance (Q):[2][22] The Atiras or Apoheles have orbits strictly within The Earth's orbit: The aphellion distance (Q) of an Atira asteroid is smaller than the perihelion distance of the Earth (0.983 AU). That is, Q < 0.983 AU, which implies that the semi-sized axis of the asteroid is also less than 0.983 AU. [98] The Atens have a half-sized axis of less than 1 AU and cross the Earth's orbit. Mathematically, one < 1.0 AU and Q > 0.983 AU. (0.983 AU is the perihelion distance of the earth.) The Apollos have a half-sized axis of more than 1 AE and cross The Earth's orbit. Mathematically, a > 1.0 EE and q < 1.017 AE. (1.017 AE is the aphellion distance of the earth.) The amors have orbits that are strictly outside the Earth's orbit: The perihelion distance (q) of a Cupid asteroid is greater than the Aphel distance of the Earth (1,017 AE). Amor asteroids are also near-Earth objects, so q < 1.3 AE. In summary, 1,017 ARE AU < q < 1.3 AU. (This means that the half axis (a) of the asteroid is also larger than 1,017 AE.) Some Amor asteroid orbits traverse the orbit of Mars. (Note: Some authors define Atens differently: They define it as all asteroids with a half-sized axis of less than 1 AE. [99] [100] That is, they consider the Atiras to be part of the Atens. [100] Historically, until 1998, there were no known or suspected Atiras, so the distinction was not necessary.) Atiras and Amors do not cross Earth's orbit and are not immediate effects, but their orbits may change to Earth-crossing orbits in the future. [101] [22] On June 28, 2019[update], 36 Atiras, 1,510 Atens, 10,199 Apollos and 8,583 Amors were discovered and catalogued. [1] Co-orbital asteroids The five lagrangic points relative to Earth and possible orbits along the gravitational contours of NEA in a coorbital configuration have the same orbital period as Earth. All co-orbital asteroids have special orbits that are relatively stable and, paradoxically, can prevent them from approaching Earth: Trojan: Near a planet's orbit, there are five gravitational equilibrium points, the Lagrangian points, where an asteroid would orbit the sun in solid formation with the planet. Two of them, 60 degrees in front of and behind the planet along its orbit (designated L4 or L5), are stable; That is Asteroid seam nototed to these points would remain there for millions of years, even if it were disturbed by other planets and non-gravitarian forces. As of March 2018[update], the only confirmed Trojan on Earth 2010 is TK7 orbiting the Earth's L4 point. [102] Horseshoe librators: stability region around L4 and L5 L5 includes orbits for co-orbital asteroids orbiting both l4 and L5. Seen from Earth, the orbit can resemble the circumference of a horseshoe or consist of annual loops that wander back and forth in a horseshoe- shaped area (Librate). In both cases, the sun is in the center of the horseshoe, the earth is in the gap of the horseshoe and L4 and L5 are inside the ends of the horseshoe. By 2016, 12 horseshoe librators on Earth had been discovered. [103] The most studied and with about 5 km largest is 3753 Cruithne, which travels along bean-shaped annual loops and completes its horseshoe libration cycle every 770 to 780 years. [104] [105] (419624) 2010 SO16 is a horseshoe asteroid. [106] Quasi-satellites: Quasi-satellites are co-orbital asteroids in a normal elliptical orbit with a higher eccentricity than Earth's, which move them in a way synchronized with Earth's movement. Since the asteroid orbits the Sun more slowly than Earth, if it is farther away and faster than Earth, when it is closer to the Sun when observed from Earth, the quasi-satellite appears to orbit the Earth in a retrograde direction in a year, although it is not gravitationally bound. By 2016, five asteroids were known as Earth's quasi-satellite. 469219 Kamooalewa is the next quasi-satellite on Earth in orbit that has been stable for almost a century. [107] Orbit calculations up to 2016 showed that all quasi-satellites and four of the horseshoe librators then became known, which were then repeatedly transmitted between horseshoe and quasi-satellite orbits. [107] One of these objects, 2003 YN107, was observed during its transition from a quasi-satellite orbit to a horseshoe orbit in 2006; it is expected to return to quasi-satellite orbit 60 years later. [108] Temporary satellites: NEAs can also transfer between solar orbits and distant Earth orbits and become gravitational-bound temporary satellites. According to simulations, temporary satellites are usually caught when they pass through the L1 or L2 lagrangian points, and the Earth has at least one temporary satellite 1 m (3.3 ft) at any given time, but they are too weak to detect them through current surveys. [109] In March 2018[update], the only observed transition was that of the asteroid 2006 RH120, which was a temporary satellite from September 2006 to June 2007[110][111] and has since been in a solar orbit with a period of 1,003 years. [112] According to orbital calculations, in 2006 RH120 passes the Earth at low speed every 20 to 21 years on its solar orbit,[112] at Point it can become a temporary satellite again. Meteoroids in 1961 defined the IAU meteoroids as a class of solid interplanetary objects, which differ from asteroids in their significantly smaller size. [113] This definition was useful at the time, as with the exception of the Were all historically observed meteors produced by objects that were significantly smaller than the smallest asteroids that could be observed by telescopes. [113] As the distinction began to blur with the discovery of ever smaller asteroids and a greater variety of observed NEO impacts, in April 2017, the IAU adopted a revised definition that generally limits meteoroids to a size between 30 and 1 m in diameter, but allows the use of the term for any object of any size that caused a meteor, blurring the distinction between asteroids and meteoroids. [114] Near-Earth comets Halley's comet during its 0.10 AU[115] approach to Earth in May 1910 Near-Earth Comets (NECs) are objects in a near-Earth orbit with a tail or coma. Comet nuclei are usually less dense than asteroids, but they pass through Earth at higher relative speeds, so the impact energy of a comet nucleus is slightly greater than that of a similarly large asteroid. [116] NECs can pose an additional danger through fragmentation: the meteoroid streams that produce meteor showers can contain large inactive fragments, effectively NEAs. [117] Although no effects of a comet have been conclusively confirmed in Earth's history, the Tunguska event may have been caused by a fragment of the comet Encke. [118] Comets are often divided between short and long-term comets. Short-term comets with an orbital period of less than 200 years originate from the Kuiper Belt, beyond the orbit of Neptune; while long-term comets are formed in the Oort cloud, in the outer areas of the solar system. [14] The distinction from the orbital period is important for assessing the risk of near-Earth comets, as neCs were likely to have been observed during several phenomena in a short period of time and their orbits can therefore be determined with some accuracy, while neCs are thought to have been seen with a long time for the first and last time they appeared during the age of science. so that their approaches cannot be predicted far in advance. [14] Since the threat of long-term NECs is estimated at no more than 1% of the threat from NEAs, and comet-like comets are very weak with a long time and are therefore difficult to detect at long distances from the sun, Spaceguard's efforts have consistently focused on asteroids and short-term comets. [62] [116] CNEOS even limits its definition of NECs to short-term comets[2]– as of May 10, 2018[update], 107 such objects were discovered. [1] Since March 2018[update], only 20 comets have been observed within 0.1 AU (15,000,000 km; 9,300,000 miles) of the including 10 comets that are or were short-term comets. [119] Two of these comets, Halley's comet and 73P/Schwassmann-Wachmann, were observed in several close approaches. [119] The closest observed approach was 0.0151 AU (5.88 LD) for Lexell's comet on 1, 1770. [119] After an orbit change due to an approach of Jupiter in 1779, this object is no longer nec. The next approach ever observed for a current short NEC is 0.0229 AU (8.92 LD) for the comet Temple-Tuttle in 1366. [119] This comet is the parent body of the Leonid meteor shower, which also produced the Great Meteor Storm of 1833. [120] Orbital calculations show that P/1999 J6 (SOHO), a faint solar-weider comet and confirmed short-term NEC observed only during its close approach to the Sun[121], passed the Earth undetected on June 12, 1999 at a distance of 0.0121 AU (4.70 LD). [122] Comet 109P/Swift-Tuttle, which is also the source of the Perseid meteor shower every August, has a 130-year orbit that runs near Earth. During the comet's recovery in September 1992, when only the previous two yields in 1862 and 1737 had been identified, calculations showed that the comet would pass close to Earth on its next return in 2126, with effects in the area of uncertainty. Until 1993, even earlier returnees (back to at least 188 A.D.) were identified, and the longer observation arc eliminated the risk of impact, and the comet will pass Earth in 2126 at a distance of 23 million kilometers. In 3044, the comet is expected to pass Earth at less than 1.6 million kilometers. [123] Artificial near-Earth objects J002E3 discovery images taken on September 3, 2002. J002E3 is located in Defunct spacecraft, and final stages of rockets can end up in near-Earth orbits around the Sun and be rediscovered by NEO studies when they return near Earth. In September 2002, astronomers found an object with the value J002E3. The object was on a temporary satellite orbit around Earth and went into a solar orbit in June 2003. Calculations showed that it was also in a solar orbit before 2002, but was near Earth in 1971. J002E3 was identified as the third stage of the Saturn V rocket that brought Apollo 12 to the moon. [124] [125] In 2006, two other temporary satellites were discovered suspected to be artificial. [125] One of them was eventually confirmed as an asteroid and classified as a temporary satellite in 2006 RH120. [125] The other, 6Q0B44E, has been confirmed as an artificial object, but its identity is unknown. [125] Another temporary satellite was discovered in 2013 and classified as QW1 in 2013. It later emerged that it was an artificial object of unknown origin. 2013 QW1 is no longer considered an asteroid by the Minor Planet Center [125] [126] In some cases, active spacecraft on solar orbits were observed by NEO surveys and incorrectly catalogued as asteroids before identification. During its 2007 Rosetta spacecraft flying from Earth en route to a comet, the ROSEtta spacecraft was not identified and classified as an asteroid 2007 VN84, with a warning issued for its approach. [127] [127] The designation 2015 HP116 was also removed from the asteroid catalogs when the observed object was identified with Gaia, ESA's space observatory for aspace memeny. [128] Impacts Main article: Impact event When a near-Earth object acts on Earth, objects up to a few dozen meters above the rule explode in the upper atmosphere (usually harmless), with most or all solids evaporating, while larger objects hit the water surface and form tsunami waves or hit the solid surface and form impact craters. [129] The frequency of impacts of objects of different sizes is estimated on the basis of orbit allotting simulations of NEO populations, the frequency of impact craters on Earth and the moon, and the frequency of close encounters. [130] [131] The study of impact craters shows that the impact frequency has been more or less constant over the last 3.5 billion years, requiring a steady replenishment of the NEO population from the main asteroid belt. [22] An impact model based on widely accepted NEO population models estimates the average time between the impact of two rocky asteroids with a diameter of at least 4 m (13 ft) in about a year; for asteroids 7 m (23 ft) above (which dropped on Hiroshima with as much energy as the atomic bomb, about 15 kilotons of TNT) at five years, for asteroids 60 m (200 ft) above (an impact energy of 10 megatons, comparable to the Tunguska event 1908) at 1,300 years, for asteroids 1 km (0.62 miles) over half a million years, and for asteroids 5 km over 18 million years. [132] Some other models estimate similar stroke frequencies[22], while others calculate higher frequencies. [131] For the effects of Tunguska size (10 megatons), estimates range from one event every 2,000 to 3,000 years to one event every 300 years. [131] Location and impact energy of small asteroids that affect the Earth's atmosphere The second largest observed impact after the Tunguska meteor was a 1.1-megaton air explosion in 1963 near the Prince Edward Islands between South Africa and Antarctica, detected only by infrasound sensors. [133] The third largest, but by far the best observed, impact was the Chelyabinsk meteor of February 15, 2013. A previously unknown 20 m asteroid exploded over this Russian city with a corresponding explosion yield of 400-500 kilotons. [133] The calculated orbit of the asteroid before impact is similar to that of the Apollo asteroid 2011 EO40, making the latter the possible parent body of the meteor. [134] On October 7, 2008, 19 hours after its first observation, the asteroid 2008 TC3 blew itself up 37 km above the Nubian in The Air in Sudan. It was the first time an asteroid had been observed and its impact was predicted before entering the atmosphere as a meteor. [135] 10.7 kg of meteorites were recovered after the impact. [136] On 2 January 2014, just 21 hours after the first Discovered in 2014, 2-4 m AA blew up in the Earth's atmosphere over the Atlantic Ocean. Far from each country, the meteor explosion was observed by only three infrasound detectors from the Comprehensive Nuclear Test-Ban Treaty Organization. This impact was the second predicted in advance. [137] However, the prediction of asteroid impact is still in its infancy, and successfully predicted asteroid impacts are rare. The vast majority of impacts recorded by infrasound sensors for the detonation of nuclear devices:[138] are not predicted in advance. The observed impacts are not limited to the surface and atmosphere of the Earth. Dust-sized NEOs have hit man-made spacecraft, including NASA's Long Duration Exposure Facility, which collected interplanetary dust in low Earth orbit for six years from 1984. [113] Influences on the moon can be observed as flashes of light with a typical duration of a fraction of a second. [139] The first lunar impacts were recorded during the Leonid Storm in 1999. [140] Subsequently, several continuous monitoring programs were started. [139] [141] [142] In March 2018[Update], the largest observed lunar impact occurred on September 11, 2013, lasted 8 seconds and was probably caused by an object with a diameter of 0.6-1.4 m. [141] Close approaches main article: List of asteroids near approaches to Earth flyby of asteroid 2004 FH (center point followed by sequence). The other object that flashes past is an artificial satellite Every year several mostly small NEOs pass through the Earth closer than the distance of the moon. [143] On August 10, 1972, a meteor known as the Great Daylight Fireball in 1972 was observed by many people; She moved across the Rocky Mountains from the southwestern United States to Canada. It was an earth-grazing meteoroid that was within 57 km of the Earth's surface and was filmed by a tourist in Grand Teton National Park in Wyoming using an 8-millimeter color film camera. [144] On October 13, 1990, the Earth-engraved meteoroid EN131090 was observed over Czechoslovakia and Poland and moved at 41.74 km/s on a 409 km long trajectory from south to north. The closest approach to Earth was 98.67 km above the surface. It was captured by two European Fireball Network all-sky cameras, which for the first time made it possible to perform geometric calculations of the orbit of such a body. [145] On March 18, 2004, LINEAR announced that a 30 m (98 ft) asteroid, 2004 FH, would pass only 42,600 km from Earth on that day, about a tenth of the distance to the moon and the next Miss that was noticed until then. They estimated that similarly large asteroids come so close every two years. [146] On March 31, 2004, two weeks after 2004 FH, 2004 FU162 set a new record for the next recorded approach above the atmosphere and passed the Earth's surface only 6,500 km. Km. (such as an Earth radius or one-sixth of the distance to the moon). Since it was very small (6 meters/20 feet), FU162 was discovered just hours before its closest approach. If it had collided with The Earth, it would probably have disintegrated harmlessly in the atmosphere. [147] On February 4, 2011, an asteroid called 2011 CQ1, estimated at 0.8-2.6 m in diameter, passed within 5,500 km of Earth and set a new record for the next approach with no impact on[148], which was still standing as of September 2018[Update]. [143] On November 8, 2011, the asteroid (308635) passed 2005 YU55, relatively large with a diameter of about 360 m, within 324,600 km (0.85 lunar distances) of Earth. [149] On February 15, 2013, the 30 m asteroid 367943 Duende (2012 DA14) passed about 27,700 km above the Earth's surface, closer than satellites in geosynchronous orbit. [150] The asteroid was not visible to the eye. This was the first narrow passage of an object discovered during an earlier passage, and was thus the first to be predicted long in advance. [151] Reconnaissance missions Some NEOs are of particular interest because they can be physically explored at a lower mission speed than is necessary even for the moon, due to their combination of low speed in relation to Earth and weak gravity. They can present interesting scientific possibilities for direct geochemical and astronomical investigations as well as potentially economic sources of extraterrestrial materials for human exploitation. [12] This makes it an attractive exploration target. [152] Missions to NEAs 433 Eros from NASA's NEAR spacecraft Image Mosaic of asteroid 101955 Bennu, target of NASA's OSIRIS-REx probe More information: List of small planets and comets visited by spacecraft The IAU held a workshop for small planets in Tucson, Arizona in March 1971. At that time, the launch of a spacecraft to asteroids was considered premature; The workshop inspired only the first astronomical survey specifically targeting NEAs. [13] Missions to asteroids were re-examined during a workshop at the University of Chicago by NASA's Office of Space Science in January 1978. Of all near-Earth asteroids (NEAs) discovered in mid-1977, it was estimated that spacecraft could hit and return with only about 1 in 10 human-and-a-half with less propulsion than necessary to reach Mars. It was recognized that due to the low surface gravity of all NEAs, moving on the surface of a NEA would cost very little energy, so that spacecraft could collect multiple samples. [13] In total, that about one percent of all NEAs could provide opportunities for human-occupied missions, or no more than about 10 NEAs that were known at the time. A five-fold increase in the NEA detection rate was deemed necessary in order to a manned mission within ten years is worthwhile. [13] The first near-Earth asteroid visited by a spacecraft was the 17 km long asteroid 433 Eros, when NASA's Near Earth Asteroid Rendezvous (NEAR) spacecraft orbited it in February 2001 and landed on the asteroid surface in February 2002. [17] A second near-Earth asteroid, the 535 m long earthnut-shaped 25143 Itokawa, was visited in September 2005 by the Hayabusa mission of the JAXA, which succeeded in bringing material samples back to Earth. A third near-Earth asteroid, the 2.26 km long 4179 Toutatis, was explored in December 2012 during a flyby of CNSAe's Chang'e 2 spacecraft. [19] [56] The 980 m long Apollo asteroid 162173 Ryugu is the target of JAXA's Hayabusa 2 mission. Launched in December 2014, the spacecraft is scheduled to arrive at the asteroid in June 2018 and return a sample to Earth in December 2020. [20] The 500 m (1,600 ft) Apollo asteroid 101955 Bennu, which from March 2018[update] has the second highest cumulative Palermo scale (1.71 USD for several close encounters between 2175 and 2199),[7] is the target of NASA's OSIRIS REx probe. The New Frontiers mission was launched in September 2016. [21] During its two-year journey to Bennu, the probe had searched for Earth's Trojan asteroids,[153] in August 2018 with Bennu rendezvoused and had been orbiting the asteroid in December 2018. OSIRIS-REx will return samples of the asteroid in September 2023. [21] In April 2012, Planetary Resources announced its plans to commercially promote asteroids. In a first phase, the company reviewed data and selected potential targets among NEAs. In a second phase, spaceprobes would be sent to the selected NEAs; Mining spaceships would be sent in a third phase. [154] Planetary Resources launched two test ground satellites in April 2015[155] and January 2018[156], and the first prospecting satellite for the second phase is planned for 2020. [155] The Near-Earth Object Surveillance Mission (NEOSM) is not scheduled to launch until 2025 at the earliest to detect and characterize the orbit of most of the potentially dangerous asteroids larger than 140 m during their mission. [157] Missions to NECs 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko from the perspective of the ESA's Rosetta spacecraft The first near-Earth comet visited by a spacecraft was 21P/Giacobini-Zinner in 1985, when the NASA/ESA International Cometary Explorer (ICE) probe moved through the coma. In March 1986, the ICE, together with the Soviet probes Vega 1 and Vega 2, flew the ISAS probes Sakigake and Suisei as well as the ESA probe Giotto through the core of Halley's comet. In 1992, Giotto also visited another NEC, 26P/Grigg-Skjellerup. [14] In November 2010, NASA's Deep Impact spacecraft flew past near-Earth comet 103P/Hartley. in July 2005, this probe flew from the non- Earth comet Temple 1 and met it with large copper mass. [15] In August 2014, ESA's Rosetta spacecraft began orbiting near-Earth comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko, while its Philae lander landed on its surface in November 2014. After the end of their mission, Rosetta was plunged to the comet's surface in 2016.
