Greetings from the International Astronomical Search Collaboration
NEO Confirmations & MBA Follow-Ups
Congratulations to B. Collins, IASC Volunteer from the United States. He has two NEO confirmations, 2010 LA64 on June 14th and 2010 MH1 on June 19th. Also on June 19th, the NEO 2010 MF1 was confirmed by Stoyanova,Marinov, Ivanova, & Marinova from Vaptzarov Language School in Bulgaria. Great Job!!
Several Main Belt asteroid (MBA) discoveries are being followed-up. Remember to complete the discovery process not only must your students make the original observation but the discovery must be confirmed in a follow-up image taken no less than 7 days later. If the follow-up is not successful then the discovery is considered lost.
If the current follow-ups are successful and the discovery process is completed, you will be notified. Stayed tuned and keep your fingers crossed!!
Image Sets Available
Image sets from June 19th and June 20th are available in the school folders. There are no new sets from June 21st or 22nd. Hopefully new sets will be available on June 23th. If so, they will be uploaded immediately into the school folders. Keep a watch on your folder.
In the meanwhile...
Happy Hunting!!
Dr. Patrick Miller
