An inquiry into asteroids and their potential danger to humanity

In this notebook i will be performing data analysis on the NASA JPL Asteroid dataset to see what conclusions we can extrapolate from it, with regard to the potential danger that asteroid pose to humanity.
The dataset was provided by the Jet Propulsion Laboratory of California Institute of Technology and it includes many asteroids and their physical parameters as they relate to orbital mechanics.

This notebook represents the capstone project for the online course on data analysis called Data Analysis with Python: Zero to Pandas provided by Jovian.ml under the tutelage of Aakash N S
