Greetings from the International Astronomical Search Collaboration
The Discoveries & Observations page at the IASC web site has been updated. You and your students can check it out at http://iasc.hsutx.edu/index_
So far, there have been no Main Belt asteroid discoveries in the All-India Search Campaign, but there have been many near-Earth object observations. These observations are important as they allow the Minor Planet Center (Harvard) to further refine the orbits of these potentially Earth-threatening rock boulders.
There are some Main Belt asteroid discoveries made earlier by the students participating in the Xinglong Asteroid Search Campaign (China). You will find these listed on the IASC web site.
There are no new image sets from the ARI Observatory due to continued unsettled weather across the Midwestern United States. There are earlier image sets available in the school folders dated May 22nd and May 25th. If your students have not yet analyzed these sets, have them download them and use Astrometrica to conduct a search.
When new image sets are available, you will be notified immediately. Keep an eye on your folder, and in the meanwhile...
Happy Hunting!!
