Rediscovering an asteroid
By jaz - Posted on May 29th, 2008
While processing CCD images of galaxies of the SINGS project, Juan Carlos Muñoz Mateos has found the visible traces of a celestial object moving across the field of the nearby galaxy M100. The animated picture shows the consecutive images taken in B, V, R and I bands. The celestial body is clearly moving with respect to the background stars and galaxies. After a careful search in the JPL Small-Body Database the unidentified object has been found to be 1996 AU3.
