There are a variety of celestial bodies in our universe. The Sun, the Moon, planets, comets, stars, nebulae and galaxies. All of them have their own unique characteristics and they are all mysteriously beautiful to look at.

However, there are other celestial bodies which are not readily noticeable. They are the asteroids. Asteroids are very small objects circulating around the Sun.

It is possible, however, that they may provide a clue to the birth of our solar system. They may also become very precious resources available to the human kind in future when human activities extend well into the universe.

At the same time, however, it is possible that they may collide with the Earth, leading to the end of our civilization, as we know it today.

The Japan Spaceguard Association (JSGA) invites you all to the world of asteroids. We are convinced that you will be very excited about them and find yourself looking at the new horizon which is yet to be explored by you and your friends.
