Data Explained

This table represents data related to various celestial objects, specifically asteroids, that have been observed and tracked over a period of time. The table includes the following information:

Name: Provides the name or designation of the celestial object, often including the year of its discovery.
Object ID: Unique identifier for each celestial object in the dataset.
First Observed: Represents the first known date when the celestial object was observed or discovered.
Last Observed: Represents the most recent observation or tracking of the celestial object.
Hazardous Object?: Indicates whether the celestial object is considered hazardous.
Close Approach: Specifies the next predicted close approach date and time of the celestial object to Earth.
Current Orbit: Mentions the celestial body or bodies that the object is currently orbiting.
Estimated Diameter: Provides an estimated range of the diameter of the celestial object, expressed in both meters and feet.
Orbiting Bodies: Lists the celestial bodies that the object is known to be orbiting.
Relative Velocity: Indicates the relative velocity of the celestial object with respect to Earth, given in both kilometers per hour and miles per hour.
Orbit Description: Provides a brief description of the object's orbit, including information about its similarity to the orbit of specific asteroids like 1862 Apollo or 2062 Aten.

In summary, this data represents a collection of information about various asteroids, including their observation history, physical characteristics, orbital details, and whether they pose a hazard to Earth.
