New data on Tuesdays and Fridays!
During the winter months there is more inclement weather at our observing site. Due to this images will be more infrequent.
Also, this project recently migrated onto Zooniverse’s new architecture. For details, see here.
We have currently submitted 409 preliminary asteroids to the Minor Plant Center (MPC). Their preliminary designations are listed below. As discoveries are verified by the MPC the entries will be updated with their provisional designation, and eventually their asteroid number once the discovery process is complete.
Preliminary designations are the designations that have been assigned by the IASC team to potential new asteroid discoveries.
Provisional designations are the designations given to a potential new asteroid by the MPC after an orbit has been calculated using measurements from multiple days/observatories
Numbered designations are the final designation given to asteroids once they have been measured numerous times and are confirmed to be official new asteroid discoveries.
