Included are links to all of the presentation abstracts. This page contains links to all space missions that have examined asteroids and comets as well as basic facts and images of these bodies. The idea behind this service is to provide a means for easy and fast communication, exchange of data and other information in both observational and theoretical research on asteroids. Impacts of asteroids or comets on the earth surface have played an important role in the evolution of the planet. Planetary Photojournal Images of comets and asteroids - This page at NASA's Planetary Photojournal provides access to a database of images of comets and asteroids from solar system exploration programs and other sources.
Images are available in sizes ranging from small web images to large, publication quality files.
The primary goal of Spacewatch is to explore the various populations of small objects in the solar system, and study the statistics of asteroids and comets in order to investigate the dynamical evolution of the solar system. Spacewatch also finds potential targets for space missions, provides astrometric support for spacecraft mission planning, and finds objects that might present a hazard to the Earth.
