Tracking Near-Earth Objects (NEOs) is important because they have the potential to impact Earth and cause significant damage. By monitoring NEOs, scientists can predict potential collisions and take measures to mitigate the impact, potentially saving lives and minimizing destruction. Tracking NEOs also provides valuable information about the composition and distribution of objects in our solar system.
