Na przełomie października i listopada w 2022 roku uczniowie i absolwenci brali udział akcji poszukiwań asteroid. Ich żmudna praca zaowocowała odkryciem trzech nowych planetoid:
Obecnie nasza szkoła ma już 19 odkrytych nowych ciał niebieskich.

Provisional Discoveries
Congratulations to your citizen scientists on their Provisional discoveries from the October/November 2022 campaigns! Attached to this email is a PDF of the provisional detections from the campaigns. The provisional detections have a new designation listed in the first column.
A preliminary detection is the first, original observation of a new asteroid. The asteroid must be observed a second time within the next 7-10 days. If it is, then the detection is changed to provisional status by the Minor Planet Center (MPC). Asteroid discoveries with provisional status are maintained in the MPC database for many years, until there have been a sufficient number of observations to fully determine the orbit. That process typically takes 6-10 years, at which point the asteroid is numbered and cataloged by the International Astronomical Union. Numbered asteroids can be named by their citizen scientist discoverers.
Happy Hunting!!
