☄️ NASA Near-Earth Asteroids (NeoWs) Scraper
🚀 Pull near-earth asteroid data from NASA's NeoWs: name, hazardous flag, diameter, close-approach date, miss-distance, velocity.
The NASA Near-Earth Asteroids Scraper pulls asteroid data from NASA's Near Earth Object Web Service (NeoWs). Output includes asteroid name, designation, potentially-hazardous flag, estimated diameter (min/max in meters and miles), close-approach date, miss-distance (km, lunar, AU), relative velocity, orbiting body, absolute magnitude, and orbital determination data.
NASA tracks ~28,000 known near-earth objects with close approaches updated daily. The Actor offers two modes: a date-range feed (asteroids approaching Earth in a 7-day window) and a full catalog browse mode. Filter to potentially-hazardous asteroids (PHAs) only, or include all NEOs.
| 🎯 Target Audience | 💡 Primary Use Cases |
|---|---|
| Astronomy enthusiasts, science journalists, planetary defense researchers, ML pipelines, educators, museum exhibits | Astronomy newsletters, science-news features, planetary-defense awareness, classroom material, ML training on orbital mechanics |
📋 What the NASA Near-Earth Asteroids (NeoWs) Scraper does
Five filtering workflows in a single run:
- 📅 Close-approach feed. Asteroids passing Earth in a 7-day window.
- 📚 Catalog browse. Paginate the full NeoWs catalog of 28,000+ NEOs.
- ⚠️ Hazardous filter. Restrict to potentially-hazardous asteroids (PHAs).
- 📐 Multi-unit data. Diameter in meters/km/miles, velocity in km/s and km/h, miss-distance in km/lunar/AU.
- 🔬 Orbital data. Orbit determination, observation count, first/last observation date.
💡 Why it matters: clean, server-side filtering and fresh data on every run.
📊 Data fields
Each record includes: absoluteMagnitudeH, closeApproachDate, designation, diameterMaxMeters, isPotentiallyHazardous, missDistanceKm, name, nasaJplUrl, orbitingBody, relativeVelocityKms. These field names come straight from the actor's dataset schema, so what you see here is what lands in your dataset.
