[Notice the Earth’s orbit is in the densest part of the asteroids’ orbits!] [Note: New 2016 NEO orbital tracks are not included in above image.] NEOs (Near Earth Objects), or NEAs (Near Earth Asteroids), are also referred to as AAAs. - There are more than 200,000: 32%  Amor-asteroid orbits approach but do not cross Earth’s. Amors orbit farther from the Sun than Earth and many remain entirely between Earth & Mars. 62%  Apollo asteroids’ wider orbits cross Earth’s and spend more time outside Earth’s orbit. 6%  Aten asteroids’ orbits cross Earth’s but spend more time inside Earth’s orbit and are more difficult to detect. <1%  Atira asteroids’ orbits remain entirely inside Earth’s orbit (aka: Interior Earth Objects or IEOs). <1%  Comets have highly elliptical,+ hyperbolic orbits and can also pass near or impact Earth. - Some speed in+ from beyond Pluto with most not in the ecliptic.+ PHAs* NASA+: “Potentially Hazardous Asteroids (PHAs, 1648 known) are currently defined based on parameters that measure the asteroid’s potential to make threatening, close approaches to the Earth. Specifically, all asteroids with an Earth Minimum Orbit Intersection Distance (MOID) of .05 AU [Astronomical Unit: mean distance from Earth to Sun] or less and an absolute magnitude (H) of 22 or less are con­sid­ered PHAs. In other words, asteroids that can’t get any closer to the Earth (i.e., MOID) than .05 AU (roughly 7,480,000km or 4,650,000miles) or are smaller than about 150m (500ft) in diameter (i.e., H=22 with assumed albedo+ of 13%) are not considered PHAs.  This “potential” [for] close Earth approaches does not mean a PHA will impact the Earth. It only means there is a possibility for such a threat. By monitoring these PHAs and updating their orbits as new observations become available, we can better pre­dict the close-approach statistics and thus their Earth-impact threat.” – After Chelyabinsk,+ I’m not so sure about that at all !!!  Just so you understand, let me explain why NASA uses the term *PHA (Potentially Hazardous Asteroid). - You see, if an asteroid comes close enough, Earth’s gravity will affect its trajectory for the next time it passes, possibly caus­ing an im­pact. - Personally, I don’t believe for one nano­sec­ond that if NASA finds one which has an impact trajectory that they’ll tell us about it, unless it’s small enough not to be a prob­lem other­wise. - So, keep checking in here for any “trends,” eh? - •I would!• - [Note: Above LDs are nominal, not minimums.] [Author’s Note: Data compiled above is from four sources, so I intentionally err on the side of caution. For example, if one source has an earlier time of closest approach, that one is used. Similarly, if one source has a larger size or size range, that one is used above as well. The same goes for distance at passage, the lesser datum is used, especially because in one case or another the Lunar Distance standard used varies slightly. Also, diameter is figured from absolute magnitude (H, as­sum­ing ±13% reflectance/albedo) which, again, varies from one source to another. - I figured LDs myself.] International/uS ©Copyright 2016 by RK (aka: MayarOwl)
