NEOCP Activity on 1 February '10
The MPC's NEO Confirmation Page has 1 listing: 1 new
When last checked at 2358 UTC today, the Minor Planet Center's Near Earth Object discovery Confirmation Page (NEOCP) had one new listing. So far The Tracking News has counted a total of two listings on the NEOCP at some point today.
To learn how observers use the NEOCP, see the Practical guide on how to observe NEOCP object at Suno Observatory by Birtwhistle et al.
