What Does NEO Stand For?
NEO stands for Near Earth Objects
NEO, or Near Earth Objects, refers to small celestial bodies, such as asteroids and comets, whose orbits bring them into close proximity to Earth. These objects are categorized based on their orbital trajectories, with significant focus on identifying potentially hazardous NEOs that could pose a risk of collision with our planet. Monitoring and studying NEOs is crucial for planetary defense, scientific research, and understanding the solar system's dynamics.
