Exhibition

These questions and many more are answered in our online virtual exhibit. Browse through to find the information you want or view our interactive flash movie on impact hazards. If you want to find out about a particular asteroid or comet then look in our NEO database, you can use our virtual 3D orbit generator to view the path of the object through the solar system. The virtual craters simulation allows you to view the damage caused by a particular impact and planetary defence allows you to see what could be done to overt an impact threat.

Information about NEO-related events and regional exhibitions around the world can be found here.
