near-Earth objects
Asteroids and comets that closely approach or cross the orbit of the Earth are called Near-Earth Objects (NEOs). The potential of these objects to collide with the Earth has increased interest in them. The effort to study Near-Earth Objects has grown substantially, but much remains to be done considering the tragic consequences they pose to humankind.
