Hi everyone,

I've found an interesting link to NASA's "Near Earth Object Program", which aims to detect all near Earth objects greater than 1km across which might impact within the next 100 years. There's a list of the objects here...

Also, be sure to check out Galaxy Zoo under the "Astronomy and Cosmology" section of the forum
