NEOCP Activity  on 29 June '10

The MPC's NEO Confirmation Page has 8 listings: 5 new, 3 updated

When last checked at 2358 UTC today, the Minor Planet Center's Near Earth Object discovery Confirmation Page (NEOCP) had five new and three updated listings. Of these, one was a "one nighter." So far The Tracking News has counted a total of nine listings on the NEOCP at some point today.

To learn how observers use the NEOCP, see the Practical guide on how to observe NEOCP object at Suno Observatory by Birtwhistle et al.
