Look up any asteroid or comet in NASA JPL's Small-Body Database by designation, number, or name (e.g. "433", "Eros", "433 Eros", "1P/Halley", "2024 YR4"). Returns full name + kind + orbit class (e.g. Amor, Apollo, Jupiter-family comet), NEO and potentially-hazardous-asteroid flags, physical params (absolute magnitude H, diameter, extent, rotation period, albedo, density, spectral type), and orbital elements (eccentricity, semi-major axis, perihelion/aphelion, inclination, period, Earth MOID, observation arc). Astronomy, planetary-defense, and mission-planning research. Public-domain NASA/JPL data; for a body's near-Earth close approaches see /api/space/close-approaches.
