Welcome to BSK Near Earth Objects, your personal early-warning radar for space. Powered directly by NASA’s NeoWs (Near Earth Object Web Service) API, this app tracks asteroids, comets, and other space anomalies as they make their closest approaches to Earth.
Whether you are an astronomy enthusiast, a science educator, or simply curious about the cosmic neighborhood, BSK Near Earth Objects delivers real-time, highly detailed orbital data in a clean and easy-to-read format.
Key Features
Live NASA Data: Automatically fetches and displays the closest near-Earth objects approaching over the next 7 days, powered directly by NASA JPL's databases.
Instant Hazard Alerts: Instantly know if an asteroid is classified as a "Potentially Hazardous Asteroid" with bright, unmistakable warning badges.
Proximity Color-Coding: Miss distances are color-coded (from green to red) so you can instantly identify which objects are flying a little too close for comfort.
Deep Astronomical Metrics: View comprehensive data for each object, including its velocity (km/h), estimated diameter range, absolute magnitude, and the planetary body it orbits.
Advanced Orbital Data (MOID): The app makes parallel background requests to calculate the Minimum Orbit Intersection Distance (MOID) in astronomical units, giving power-users precise trajectory threat-levels.
Direct JPL Links: Want to dig deeper? Tap any object to open its official page on the NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) website for 3D orbit views and historical data.
Fast & Lightweight: Built with modern, asynchronous architecture, the app fetches complex orbital arrays in parallel to ensure fast load times and minimal data usage.
Keep your eyes on the skies and stay informed about the giant rocks flying past our planet every single day. Download BSK Near Earth Objects and turn your phone into a pocket-sized space observatory.
