IAU: Minor Planet Center The Minor Planet Center (MPC) operates at the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory , under the auspices of Division III of the International Astronomical Union (IAU) , with significant funding coming from subscriptions to the various services offered by the Center. The MPC is responsible for the designation of minor bodies in the solar system: minor planets; comets (in conjunction with CBAT); and natural satellites (also in conjunction with CBAT). The MPC is also responsible for the efficient collection, (computation,) checking and dissemination of astrometric observations and orbits for minor planets and comets, via the Minor Planet Circulars (issued generally on a monthly basis), the Minor Planet Circulars Orbit Supplement (MPO) (issued three or four times per year), the Minor Planet Circulars Supplement (MPS) (issued three or four times a month) and the Minor Planet Electronic Circulars (issued as necessary, generally at least once per day).

182. SpaceGame - A Simple, Networked Multiplayer Game A simple, networked multiplayer game for Java similar to asteroids. http://shh.thathost.com/pub-java/html/SpaceGame.html

SpaceGame A Simple, Networked Multiplayer Game Game Description This game is primarily written to be run as a Java application. You may, however, also run it as an applet. If my server is currently running, you may play the applet version with a couple of friends right now. This is a simple game for multiple players. It reminds a bit about the good, old Asteroids arcade game, but there are no asteroids here. Instead, there are other space ships, controlled by other players. This game is useless for you if you either a) don't have any friends, or b) don't have access to a computer network (modems may be too slow). You may be able to find additional reasons for it's uselessness. In your window, you see only a part of the world. Your ship stays centered in the view all the time. In the lower right corner is a radar display showing the entire world. A gray rectangle marks the area of the world you currently have in your window. Enemy ships appear in the radar as green dots, while weapons left by dying enemies are shown as red dots. You ship's status is shown in the lower left corner. A ship damage meter shows how far you are from being blown completely away. If this meter goes high, you should bail out of any battle you attend to, and spend some time on you own. The ship will then slowly repair itself. There is also a bomb count in the lower left corner, along with a phaser temperature meter.

Time.com People Fortune EW InStyle Business 2.0 Asteroids duo zips by planet Artist's concept of a big one that doesn't miss. By Kate Tobin CNN Sci-Tech (CNN) Scientists at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory are monitoring two asteroids that are passing relatively close to Earth on Wednesday. At its closest point, asteroid 2002 AO11 will come within 3 million miles of Earth. Further away, asteroid 1991VK will miss our planet by almost 7 million miles. While such distances may seem large, these asteroids are actually passing quite nearby, considering the size of the solar system. But neither of these asteroids poses a threat to Earth, NASA said. Asteroid disaster movies have been popular with Hollywood in recent years, with such films as "Deep Impact" and "Armageddon" dramatizing the global devastation that would certainly occur if a sizable asteroid hit earth. Such giants have hit the planet. Scientists speculate that one such monster did so much damage when it struck about 65 million years ago that it brought an end to the age of dinosaurs.

184. Minor Planet Mailing List Forum for discussion of asteroids and comets. http://www.bitnik.com/mp/

These pages contain information about the Minor Planet Mailing list as well as a number of interesting and important ideas for the minor planet observer. To make this the easiest on me, (since this is supposed to be a hobby) I will just markup the pages "preformatted" so the information will be just as it appears to the members. This means that the writing may be alittle rough, but it is the ideas that are important. Of course any pertinent corrections of additions will also be added to insure that correct information is being distributed. Also, due to the nature of the list and the fact that it will be done on a time available basis, please keep checking back for updates every so often. If you would like to read a bit more about MPML, please read a description of the list HERE If you are new to the list, please read the MPML FAQ If you would like to subscribe to MPML, please send an email message to mpml-subscribe@egroups.com The posts to MPML are available in their entirety at the ASTRO-ARCHIVE and may be searched and read HERE (The the image at the top of the page was supplied by Donald K.

Plot of the Inner Solar System The plot below shows the current location of the major planets (Mercury through Jupiter) and the minor planets that are in the inner region of the solar system. Also available is a view of the innermost region of the solar system . The plot is of the same form as the plot on this page. An animated version of this plot is available from our Animations page. This plot must not be reproduced without the express written consent of the Minor Planet Center Jupiter Trojans , here colored deep blue. Numbered periodic comets are shown as filled light-blue squares. Other comets are shown as unfilled light-blue squares. In this view, objects in direct orbits (most of the objects in this plot) move counterclockwise and the vernal equinox is towards the right. (The equinox directions are the direction of the sun as seen from the earth.) The plot is correct for the date given at the bottom of the plot. Back to minor planet lists and comet lists Credits.
