Sky tonight for this month

Thursday, June 17, 2010

Update from Patrick Miller - June 17th

Greetings from the International Astronomical Search Collaboration

Image Sets Available

Image sets from June 14, 16, & 17 are available in some of the school folders.  More sets from June 17th will be uploaded later today.

The skies are partly cloudy at the ARI Observatory and will stay that way for the remainder of the week.  As breaks in the weather appear, the Observatory will be taking NEO images.  When they become available, they will be immediately uploaded into the school folders.  Keep a watch on your folder!!

Remember, the image sets are uploaded in order.  This means if your school does not currently have an image set to analyze, be patient.  You are next in line and will receive one of the new sets.

Everyone is doing an excellent job measuring NEOs and making an occasional NEO confirmation.  Two weeks remain in the current campaigns, so it is still possible to make a Main Belt asteroid discovery.  The Main Belt asteroids are located between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter at a distance of 2-4 times the distance Earth is from the Sun.

Happy Hunting!!

Dr. Patrick Miller
