We examine the dynamics of a sample of 117 near-Earth objects (NEOs) over a time scale of 60 Myr. We find that while 10-20% end their lifetimes by striking a terrestrial planet (usually Venus or Earth), more than half end their lives in a Sun-grazing state, and about 15% are ejected from the Solar S
Currently, when a near-Earth object (NEO: any asteroid or comet approaching the terrestrial orbit about the Sun) is discovered, there is a distinct chance that it will be lost again due to the lack of suitable follow-up astrometry. The burgeoning international Spaceguard programwhich has an aim of d
