The JPL Small-Body Database Browser provides data for all known asteroids and many comets. Available data include: orbital elements, orbit diagrams, physical parameters, and discovery circumstances. Newly discovered objects and their orbits are added on a daily basis and discovery circumstances are updated on a roughly monthly interval. Physical parameters (other than magnitude parameters) are updated on a less frequent basis.
