The NEO Page Collected herein are local links dealing specifically with Near-Earth Objects (NEOs).
The NEO Confirmation Page
.
NEA candidate last added/updated (or page modified) on Feb. 12.46 UT.
There are seven NEA candidates in need of confirmation at the present time (Feb. 12.46 UT).
Newly-discovered fast-moving objects in need of confirmation are listed here.
New objects should be reported via
normal channels
.
