Asteroid Alert provides real-time information about near-Earth objects like asteroids and comets. It makes NASA NEO data easier to explore with a 3D visualization and focused object details.

- **3D Orbit Visualization**: Uses Three.js to show near-Earth object trajectories around Earth
- **NASA NEO Data**: Fetches current near-Earth object data from NASA APIs through a local server
- **Resilient Fallbacks**: Falls back to a local seed snapshot when live NASA data is unavailable

This project demonstrates interactive data visualization, API integration, and focused UI design for scientific data.
