Inner-earth Objects




Inner Earth Objects (or IEOs) are asteroids with trajectories that lie entirely in the Earth orbit. These asteroids can occasionally come very close to our planet, but are very difficult to detect from the ground, since the observing geometry places them at small angular distances from the Sun for most of the time, making them invisible against the bright sky background.
