Near-Earth asteroids are celestial objects whose orbits bring them close to Earth's orbit. They are of great interest for both scientific study and potential resource utilization, as well as for planetary defense against potential impacts.
Asteroid impact hazards refer to the potential risks posed by asteroids colliding with Earth. Scientists study these hazards to assess the likelihood of impacts and develop strategies for planetary defense.
