10. The dangers of Near Earth Objects – Guard the Earth

The Near Earth Objects Fact Sheet (link ) shows that there are thousands of objects that could threaten our existence on Earth.

Here you can take part in a project to identify and track the most dangerous Near Earth Objects (link ). See also this map of the Solar System with all known NEO’s.

You don’t need expensive equipment to become an Earth Guardian. You can see the bigger and most dangerous ones even with a small telescope. Maybe your school owns one, or you can go to an amateur observatory in your town.
