Checkout SpaceReference.org. The purpose of this site is to catalog and showcase every known object in space. We've started with asteroids and comets but this open-source project is being quickly expanded.

SpaceDB compiles data from the NASA/JPL Small Body Database, the IAU Minor Planet Center, and the NASA/JPL Center for Near Earth Object Studies.

 

Cool site Dognose. I suppose we should take some comfort that only 0.2% of those objects are potential planet killers. :laughing7:

There are 2,210 potentially hazardous asteroids of this type in the database out of 1,163,559 total, accounting for 0.2% of objects.
