The International Astronomical Search Collaboration (IASC) is a citizen science program. It provides high quality astronomical data to citizen scientists around the world. They are able to make original astronomical discoveries and participate in hands-on astronomy. This service is provided at no cost!
ANNOUNCEMENTS:
Welcome! International Astronomical Search Collaboration (IASC = "Isaac")
The All Bolivia Asteroid Search Campaign, All India Asteroid Search Campaign, All Iran 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.
For 2019 the forthcoming IASC search campaign dates are the following:
| •Jun. 25 - Jul. 23, 2019*: | All-Bolivia Asteroid Search Campaign |
| •Jun. 25 - Jul. 23, 2019*: | All-India Asteroid Search Campaign |

If your citizen science group would like to participate in an IASC search campaign contact the IASC Director,
Dr. J. Patrick Miller by email at:
iascsearch@hsutx.edu.
Campaigns usually fill up 30 days prior to their starting date.
