The Spacewatch Project discovered comets and Trans-Neptunian, Centaur, Trojan, Main-Belt, and Earth-approaching (EA) asteroids, providing information about the evolution of these objects and their orbits. Spacewatch also found asteroids that might present a hazard of impact on the Earth, and recovered high-priority comets and asteroids that were too faint for most other asteroid observing stations. During this grant interval, Spacewatch made a total of 3,885 positional measurements of 440 EAs, ...
Spacewatch is an exploration of the whole solar system for minor planets and comets, from the inner solar system to beyond Neptune's orbit. During this report period, Spacewatch discovered 23 Earth-approachers (EAs), 9, 910 main belt asteroids (MBAs), a new satellite of Jupiter, 2 comets, 9 Centaurs or scattered-disk objects, and 6 Trans-Neptunian Objects (TNOs). Spacewatch made a new estimate of the number of km-sized EAs, from which it has ...
