Mike Smith, an Arlington, Virginia, native, has been an avid stargazer since he was young, and now, as part of his Senior Project in physics, he is in the middle of an extensive asteroid research project. "In general," explains Peter Millet, professor of physics and Mike's project advisor, "asteroids are interesting to us because they may be comprised of primordial solar system material and can tell us much about how our solar system was formed. Plus, several large ones have actually hit the Earth and the Moon in the past (e.g., the lunar craters and the Meteor Crater in Arizona), so we like to keep an eye on where they're headed. Asteroids' orbits are constantly changing, some more rapidly than others, and exactly how they leave their benign orbits between Mars and Jupiter and enter the inner solar system -- our neighborhood -- is a topic of current research interest. "
