About

Asteroid Tracker is a live, interactive view of the near-Earth asteroids passing by our planet. It plots every catalogued close approach over a ±70-day window, places each object on its real Keplerian orbit from NASA/JPL elements, and animates the flybys so you can watch them sweep past Earth.

Alongside the heliocentric map you get a top-down close-approach geometry showing the miss distance against the Moon's orbit, estimated sizes and impact energies, JPL Sentry impact-risk flags, and recent atmospheric fireball detections.

Data: NASA/JPL CAD, SBDB, Sentry & Fireballs. Sizes are estimated from brightness; impact energies are hypothetical — these objects miss Earth. Treat everything as indicative, not operational guidance.
