The IAU Role

The IAU Role

One knows currently close to 850 Near Earth Asteroids (NEAs) with diameters 1 km and larger, and one estimates that there may be of the order of 100 000 NEAs with diameters exceeding 140 m. Land and water impacts of NEAs with diameters between 100 m and 500 m will cause major damages.
