Near miss is a term used to describe the
event
where two
airplanes
come very close to
hit
ting each other in mid-air, but narrowly avoid a
collision
. It is a bit of a
misnomer
however, since near hit would be more appropriate.

The term near miss is also used to describe the situation when a
celestial body
comes
close
to hitting another object in
space
.
NASA
and the
United States
Department of Defense
has a joint effort, the Near-Earth Object Search Committee, to identify and monitor every
comet
and
asteroid
that endangers the
earth
. The joint venture was budgeted for the fiscal years of 1996 through 2000. Their greatest concern lies with these objects passing near the
sun
effectively
blinding
us to their approach.
