Skills/Space & Science/Near-Earth asteroid approaches

Near-Earth asteroid approaches

0.1 credits / call

Lists near-Earth asteroids with close approaches in a given date window of up to 7 days. For each asteroid, it reports the estimated diameter, approach date, miss distance, relative velocity, and whether the object is classified as potentially hazardous. Use this for factual orbital data, not personal-safety assessments.

Use when

You want to know which asteroids pass near Earth in a date window and how close they come.

Not for

The daily astronomy image or Mars rover photos, which are separate operations.

What it accepts

Set these inside the intent when you run it.

date_rangerequired

The start and end date for the approach window (up to 7 days), in YYYY-MM-DD format.

What you get back

A list of near-Earth asteroids in the date window, each with estimated size, approach date, miss distance, relative velocity, and hazard classification.

Run it

Run this sub-skill directly: pin it with operation and pass its inputs in the intent. (Omit operation and the Space & Science skill will route from your intent instead.)
