On the night of February 5, 2026, the #Rubin team submitted a large batch of approximately 20,000 #asteroid candidate discoveries to the #MinorPlanetCenter, corresponding to roughly 246,000 individual observations: https://minorplanetcenter.net/media/newsletters/MPC_Newsletter_Feb2026.pdf - the "MPC successfully processed the entire submission. This unusually large batch provided a valuable end-to end stress test of our pipeline and allowed us to identify a few bottlenecks and areas where performance and automation can be improved."

The following is a partial #listOfMinorPlanets, running from minor-planet number 1001 through 2000, inclusive. The primary data for this and other partial lists is based on #JPL's "Small-Body Orbital Elements" and data available from the #MinorPlanetCenter. #CriticalList information is also provided by the #MPC, unless otherwise specified from #LowellObservatory. A #detailedDescription of the table's columns.

The #MinorPlanetCenter is the globally accepted authority on handling observations 🔭 and reports of new #asteroids ☄️, comets, and other small bodies 🚗 in the #SolarSystem : discovery of an unusual asteroid, 240,000 km from Earth https://www.astronomy.com/science/astronomers-just-deleted-an-asteroid-because-it-turned-out-to-be-elon-musks-tesla-roadster

An asteroid got deleted because it was actually Elon Musk’s Tesla Roadster

The case of mistaken identity was quickly resolved, but astronomers say it shows the need for transparency around craft in deep space.
