Congratulations to A. Singh & S. Wadhwa for their two discoveries, and to V. Narang, T. Paranjape, & P. Srivastava for their two!!
Possible Additional Discoveries
It is still possible that some of the MPC reports from the schools that were submitted in the past week contain new Main Belt asteroid discoveries. IASC is looking at a number of them, and will report back immediately when the Minor Planet Center finalizes its reports.
Happy Hunting!!
Congratulations to all the participants!!!!!
