Abstract-– Asteroids, remnants from the early solar system, often pass near Earth. While most pose no threat, analyzing their trajectories is vital for planetary defense. This study investigates asteroid close approaches using NASA’s 2023–2024 dataset. Employing data analysis and machine learning techniques, this research identifies patterns, builds predictive models, and visualizes results to enhance preparedness and public awareness. The results support strategic planetary defense and offer a framework for future asteroid monitoring initiatives.
