The NeoWs API provides near earth Asteroid information. It is useful for anyone curious about astronomical happenings. I use the API to generate a visualization showing how many potentially hazardous asteroids are present each month in a given date range and produce some statistics comparing potentially and non-potentially hazardous asteroids.
Example Date Range: 2019-01-01 to 2019-05-31
Average Asteroid Stats
| Potentially Hazardous | Relative Velocity (MPH) | Miss Distance (Miles) | Estimated Max Diameter (Feet) |
|---|---|---|---|
| No | 28,276 | 18,757,964 | 848 |
| Yes | 37,817 | 24,667,156 | 2,122 |
