Asteroid Studies refer to the scientific investigation and analysis of asteroids, which are small, rocky bodies that orbit the Sun, primarily in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter. This field encompasses a variety of disciplines, including astronomy, planetary science, and geology, aimed at understanding the composition, structure, origin, and evolution of asteroids. Researchers in asteroid studies utilize observational data from telescopes, spacecraft flybys, and landers, as well as computer simulations, to gather insights into these celestial objects. The studies aim to elucidate the role of asteroids in the history of the solar system, their potential for impact on Earth, and the possibility of utilizing them for resources or as sites for future exploration. Asteroid studies are crucial in assessing the risks posed by near-Earth objects and contribute to our understanding of planetary formation and evolution.
