Near-Earth object Potentially hazardous Earth Miss-distance ring

Select an asteroid marker or use the asteroid list to inspect its NASA data. Objects nearer the Earth are plotted with smaller miss distances.

NeoWs Feed reports closest-approach timing, estimated size, relative speed, miss distance, and hazard status—not exact geocentric coordinates. This 2D diagram uses a logarithmic radial scale for miss distance; angular placement is deterministic and illustrative so objects remain readable. This is not an orbital-position map.
