NASA :Asteroid Data Hunter


NASA Launches Asteroid Contest


NASA launched a set of "Asteroid Data Hunter" developer contests in a quest to enlist scientists and coders to help catalog small(ish) asteroids that could be hazardous to Earth.

The asteroid believed to have wiped out the dinosaurs was at least six miles wide.
