Welcome to IASC

IASC announcements

Welcome to the International Astronomical Search Collaboration! (IASC = "Isaac")

The All Bangladesh Asteroid Search Campaign, All Colombia Asteroid Search Campaign, All Nepal Asteroid Search Campaign, All Panama Asteroid Search Campaign, All Serbia Asteroid Search Campaign, All Turkey Asteroid Search Campaign, All Venezuela Asteroid Search Campaign, Astrophile Asteroid Search Campaign, Hands-On Universe India Asteroid Search Campaign, MARSG India Asteroid Search Campaign, Spaceport India Asteroid Search Campaign, Ciência em Casa - MCTI Asteroid Search Campaign, and International Asteroid Search Campaign are now underway. Happy Hunting!

It is important that you understand how to use Astrometrica, identify true and false signatures (i.e., not all moving things are asteroids), and prepare a clean and accurate MPC report. If you can do these things, your citizen science group will be successful in discovering new Main Belt asteroids and making important near-Earth object observations.

Upcoming IASC Campaigns

If your citizen science group would like to participate in an IASC search campaign please visit the Registration page.

Campaigns usually fill up 30 days prior to their starting date.
