Hi, Everyone! It's Francis! Here's part TWO of a multi-part set of videos covering our hunt for unknown objects using Astrometrica from inside images taken by the Pan-STARRS telescope located in Haleakala, Hawaii!

Pan-STARRS serves an important role as one way scientists discover new and unknown objects orbiting near Earth! Everyday new objects are discovered and we get to play our part by becoming active as a citizen scientist and making new discoveries of our own!

The International Astronomical Search Collaboration makes it all happen. You can find their website at http://iasc.cosmosearch.org/ You can join one of the search campaigns from a link located at the bottom of their home page.

Request a month that is not next month... Next month is always full.

O.K.! Lets see what's inside the first set of images taken by the Pan-STARRS telescope on January 16th, 2021; that's 6-days ago.

TCC019, TCC020, & TCC021 were new, preliminary discoveries we made together. Thank you for joining me!! You can join my team if you're interested in using Astrometrica to find new, unknown objects orbiting inside the inner solar system.

I hope you enjoy the hunt as much as I do! Happy hunting!

Francis
