After this training, the second component of the Citizen Science project which is the asteroid search campaign will be developed. This is when the real detection of unknown asteroid using an astronomy tool software and authentic telescope image data happens, and the piloting session is expected to commence in October 2021. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The course will cover Introduction to Astrometry &amp; Digital Sky Survey, Astrometry Software, Calibration and manual search techniques for detecting asteroid. The duration will be about 2 days or about 6 hours of practical to prepare participants for the actual asteroid search campaign at international stage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For more information and registration: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bruneiastronomy.org\/asteroidsearch\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.bruneiastronomy.org\/asteroidsearch\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">www.bruneiastronomy.org\/asteroidsearch<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Press Release (12 September 2021):<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div data-wp-interactive=\"core\/file\" class=\"wp-block-file\"><object data-wp-bind--hidden=\"!state.hasPdfPreview\" hidden class=\"wp-block-file__embed\" data=\"https:\/\/bruneiastronomy.org\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/20210912PressRelease-TrainingAsteroidSearchBN_Sept.pdf\" type=\"application\/pdf\" style=\"width:100%;height:600px\" aria-label=\"Embed of Embed of 20210912PressRelease-TrainingAsteroidSearchBN_Sept..\"><\/object><a href=\"https:\/\/bruneiastronomy.org\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/20210912PressRelease-TrainingAsteroidSearchBN_Sept.pdf\">20210912PressRelease-TrainingAsteroidSearchBN_Sept<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/bruneiastronomy.org\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/20210912PressRelease-TrainingAsteroidSearchBN_Sept.pdf\" class=\"wp-block-file__button\" download>Download<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bandar Seri Begawan &#8211; Bruneians who want to have hands-on experience to achieve personal discoveries&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":9750,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_themeisle_gutenberg_block_has_review":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[415,3,17,50],"tags":[140,439],"class_list":["post-9749","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-education","category-news","category-pabd","category-press-release","tag-asteroid","tag-asteroidsearchbn"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/bruneiastronomy.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9749","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/bruneiastronomy.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/bruneiastronomy.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bruneiastronomy.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bruneiastronomy.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=9749"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/bruneiastronomy.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9749\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bruneiastronomy.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/9750"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/bruneiastronomy.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=9749"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bruneiastronomy.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=9749"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bruneiastronomy.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=9749"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
