GTTP Sessions in Portugal
The Portuguese Commission for the commemoration of the International Year of Astronomy has developed its own program for 2009. Many of the international initiatives and cornerstones have Portuguese counterparts, but there are also some original projects.
International Asteroid Search Campaign
The International Asteroid Search Campaign (IASC) is a program for high school and college students who search just hours-old astronomical images for original discoveries. These discoveries include Main Belt asteroids and near-Earth objects (NEOs). Students download the images on a daily basis, perform the analysis with provided software tools, and report their discoveries, which ultimately are recognized by the Minor Planet Center (MPC; Harvard University) and the International Astronomical Union (IAU).
