Asteroids in Space

Discover the rocky remnants of planetary formation - asteroids that populate our solar system from the main belt to near-Earth orbits. Explore 44 asteroids with detailed orbital data, composition analysis, and discovery information.

About Asteroids

Composition

Asteroids are rocky and metallic objects ranging from small boulders to bodies hundreds of kilometers across, composed of materials from the early solar system.

Main Asteroid Belt

Most asteroids orbit in the main belt between Mars and Jupiter, prevented from forming a planet by Jupiter's gravitational influence.

Near-Earth Objects

Some asteroids have orbits that bring them close to Earth, making them important targets for both scientific study and planetary defense.

Scientific Value

Asteroids preserve pristine materials from the early solar system, offering insights into planetary formation and the origin of life.
