Near-Earth Object Confirmation Page (original) (raw)

The Near-Earth Object Confirmation Page (NEOCP) is a web service listing recently-submitted observations of objects that may be near-Earth objects (NEOs). It is a service of the Minor Planet Center (MPC), which is the official international archive for astrometric observations of minor planets. The NEOCP was established by the MPC on the World Wide Web in March 1996. This tool is updated throughout the day to facilitate follow-up observations as quickly as possible before an object is lost and no longer observable.
