If you want to see near Earth asteroids that NASA is watching you can go to this link: https://eyes.nasa.gov/apps/asteroids/#/asteroids It is a real time program.

Numerous asteroids and comets orbit through the solar system, some even approaching the Earth - and now, you can see their orbits and locations for yourself, thanks to NASA's new interactive Eyes on Asteroids experience.

The program, available for free and which can work on computers, smartphones and tablets without any download required, is a 3D visualization tool that allows users to explore the various objects in the solar system.

The interactive tool pictures the solar system and various planets within, with orbits indicated, as well as several asteroids and comets that classify as near-Earth objects (NEOs).
