Near-Earth objects, artwork
Near-Earth objects (NEOs). Computer artwork showing two asteroids orbiting very near the Earths atmosphere, with the moon at upper left. NEOs are asteroids or comets whose orbits bring them in close proximity with the Earth. If the orbit of these objects intersects with that of the Earth they are at risk of colliding with the Earth. Any asteroid over 1 kilometre in diameter that impacted the Earth would cause catastrophic effects

EDITORS COMMENTS
This artwork from Science Photo Library showcases the concept of Near-Earth objects (NEOs) in a visually stunning manner. The print depicts two asteroids gracefully orbiting perilously close to Earth's atmosphere, while the moon looms above in the upper left corner. NEOs are asteroids or comets whose paths bring them into close proximity with our planet. This computer-generated illustration serves as a reminder of their potential danger, as any asteroid over 1 kilometer in diameter colliding with Earth would have catastrophic consequences. The intricate details and vibrant colors of this artwork highlight the beauty and mystery that lies within our solar system. It invites us to contemplate the vastness of space and our place within it. By showcasing NEOs against the backdrop of Earth's atmosphere, this image emphasizes the delicate balance between celestial bodies and underscores humanity's need for vigilance when it comes to monitoring these potentially hazardous objects.
