We need your help now to track the potential threat asteroids.
Known as Near-Earth Objects(NEO's), these objects can come closer to our surface than some of our own orbiting weather satellites and continously pose a potential threat to our planet. Click here to help safeguard our planet today.
Your gift to the NEO Fund will help fight for the Arecibo Observatory, support Shoemaker Grants and other efforts to search for threatening NEOs, and push for space missions like the one to Apophis. |
MAKE AN IMPACT —
How many are headed our way? More than 4,700 near-Earth asteroids have been found to date, a fraction of the suspected total population. An estimated 700 of these are large enough to produce global disaster if they were to hit Earth. |
