Earth Crossing Asteroids Asteroids are rocky and metallic objects that orbit the Sun but are too small to be considered planets. They are known as minor planets . Asteroids range in size from Ceres, which has a diameter of about 1000 km, down to the size of pebbles. Sixteen asteroids have a diameter of 240 km or greater. They have been found inside Earth's orbit to beyond Saturn's orbit. Most, however, are contained within a main belt that exists between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter. Some have orbits that cross Earth's path and some have even hit the Earth in times past. One of the best preserved examples is Barringer Meteor Crater near Winslow, Arizona.

Asteroids O n the first day of January 1801, Giuseppe Piazzi discovered an object which he first thought was a new comet. But after its orbit was better determined it was clear that it was not a comet but more like a small planet. Piazzi named it Ceres, after the Sicilian goddess of grain. Three other small bodies were discovered in the next few years (Pallas, Vesta, and Juno). By the end of the 19th century there were several hundred. S everal hundred thousand asteroids have been discovered and given provisional designations so far. Thousands more are discovered each year. There are undoubtedly hundreds of thousands more that are too small to be seen from the Earth . There are 26 known asteroids larger than 200 km in diameter. Our census of the largest ones is now fairly complete: we probably know 99% of the asteroids larger than 100 km in diameter. Of those in the 10 to 100 km range we have cataloged about half. But we know very few of the smaller ones; there are probably considerably more than a million asteroids in the 1 km range. T he total mass of all the asteroids is less than that of the Moon Ida and 951 Gaspra were photographed by the Galileo spacecraft on its way to Jupiter. The

The Small Bodies Node Welcome to the Small Bodies Node of the NASA Planetary Data System The Planetary Data System (PDS) is a distributed archive of solar system data, prepared in a standard format for use primarily by astronomical observers and mission planners, as well as educators and students. The Small Bodies Node (SBN) specializes in data concerning asteroids, comets and interplanetary dust. Data Services at this Node SBN on-line data archives , with immediately downloadable catalogs and datasets for New! NEAR Data Archive and Data Analysis Program Asteroids Comets Interplanetary Dust Program Small Bodies Data Base The Small Bodies Data Base (SBDB), currently in development, will combine the contents of all our online catalogs with our catalog of offline data to provide direct access to both datasets and individual results. The SBDB will eventually allow users to identify objects based on observed properties and to retrieve data relevant to specific selected objects. During the first stage of implementation, each online catalog is ingested into the database and the contents made available for display based on object identification. A cross-identification utility is built into the interface, so that only a single ID need be entered to retrieve all available data relevant to the object. The Test Interface is available for public perusal. About two thirds of the online archive catalogs are currently ingested, but work on ingesting additional catalogs is proceeding apace. Please feel free to try it out on you favorite comet or asteroid.

Mathilde is about 60 km in diameter and orbits in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter. Asteroids are rocky or metallic objects, most of which orbit the Sun in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter . A few asteroids approach the Sun more closely. None of the asteroids have atmospheres. Asteroids are also known as planetoids or minor planets. THE ASTEROID BELT The asteroid belt is a doughnut-shaped concentration of asteroids orbiting the Sun between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter, closer to the orbit of Mars. Most asteroids orbit from between 186 million to 370 million miles (300 million to 600 million km or 2 to 4 AU) from the Sun. The asteroids have a slightly elliptical orbit. The time for one revolution around the Sun varies from about three to six Earth years. The strong gravitational force of the planet Jupiter shepherds the asteroid belt, pulling the asteroids away from the Sun, keeping them from careening into the inner planets.

Please visit our sponsor: Asteroids - planetary bricks Sun Mercury Venus Earth ... Mars Asteroids Jupiter Saturn Uranus Neptune ... Kuiper Asteroids are lumps of rock, some as big as 1000 km in diameter, others as small as a computer monitor! Most of them lie in a fairly wide belt orbiting the Sun between Mars and Jupiter , called (surprisingly!) the Asteroid Belt. The word asteroid has a real meaning, much like the word planet . Asteroid means "star like", because the first asteroids that were discovered resembled very dim stars. Fig. 1: Location of the asteroids There are probably over 10,000 asteroids larger than 100 km across in the Solar System, with many millions of smaller ones. Most of these can be found in a belt between the planets Mars and Jupiter The first asteroid was discovered as a result of a curious relatonship known as Bode's Law . This is not a law at all, and is really only a coincidence. It goes as follows: Bode's Law Start with the number series in the first column below... Add to each number... Then divide by S S+4 (S+4)/10 Planet Distance Mercury Venus Earth Mars Jupiter Saturn Uranus Now compare these values with the average distances of the planets ( as known by Bode in 1772 ) from the Sun , measured in AU Top Right ^^ The Hunt Begins Alarmingly, Bode's Law produces numbers that are

The original release proved to be so difficult that Atari released a revised version that had easier gameplay. This new version was originally introduced in Europe and is often referred to as the "European Version". Determining which version you are playing can be discerned by noting when the first appearance of a Killer Satellite occurs - in the original version this is near the end of the second wave, in the revised version it will appear near the end of the first wave (and moves much more slowly).
