Full Moon on June 26th

Greetings from the International Astronomical Search Collaboration

Full Moon on June 26th

In two days the Moon will be full.  This makes the sky too bright to detect faint asteroid discoveries and conduct faint near-Earth object (NEO)  measurements.  Sometimes during a full Moon the ARI Observatory will take images of the brighter NEOs that are far enough away from the Moon to be seen, but for the most part, image sets are not available three days before and three days after a full Moon.

Image Sets from June 20 & 23

Image sets from June 20th and 23rd are available in some of the school folders.  Check your folders.  When the Moon wanes in the coming week, new image sets will be available and uploaded immediately into the school folders.
