Greetings from the International Astronomical Search Collaboration
Congratulations In Order
A. Jain, S. Aggarwal, R. Gupta, H. Gill, S. Mittal, & G. Mehta from the Amity International School, Saket (India) confirmed the near-Earth object (NEO) 2010 KA8. This is the second observation of a recently-discovered NEO. The confirmation is very important and allows the Minor Planet Center (MPC) to verify the existence of an Earth-threatening asteorid and refine the orbit to better assess the impact risk. Congratulations...good job!!
Other Observations
B. Kundalia, S. Narang, K. Arora, Chyanica, I. Srivastav, M. Kundalia from Hillwoods Academy, Preet Vihar, observed and measured the NEO target 2010 EH20. K. Batra, Y. Mann, & M. Dahiya observed 2010 GU21. S. Goyal from Space Club Alpha observed 2010 JK41 and L. Jyoti, G. Perla, & P. Nagella from Space Centre-1 observed 2010 JG.
These observations and measurements are the third, fourth, and beyond of recently-discovered NEOs. The measurements allow the MPC to better refine the orbits and assess the impact risk.
Congratulations to all of you!!
Happy Hunting!!
