CAMS (the Cameras for All-Sky Meteor Surveillance project) is a NASA-sponsored international project that tracks and triangulates meteors during night-time video surveillance in order to map and monitor meteor showers. Data processing is housed at the Carl Sagan Center of the SETI Institute [1] in California, USA.
The asteroid's provisional designation as a minor planet, "2024 YR 4", was assigned by the Minor Planet Center when its discovery was announced on 27 December 2024. [2] The first letter, "Y", indicates that the asteroid was discovered in the second half-month of December (16 to 31 December), and "R 4" indicates that it was the 117th provisional designation to be assigned in that half-month.

This time-lapse photo shows the Perseid meteor shower in the skies over the massive stone head sculptures at the archaeological site of Mount Nemrut in Adyaman, southeastern Turkey, on Aug. 11, 2024.
Get ready for a meteor shower doubleheader. The Delta Aquariids occur every year in North America's late summer. This year’s peak activity happens early Tuesday morning, with an expected 15 to ...
The lists below are based on the close approach database of the Center for Near-Earth Object Studies (CNEOS), in its state as of 27 February 2025. [2] The database lists any approaches with a minimum distance less than 0.2 astronomical units (AU) from 1900 and until a century into the future which have been derived by orbit calculations.
The telescope is pointed on stars and tracked with a real time video-rate camera at folded prime focus. Spacewatch was the first to use CCDs to survey the sky for comets and asteroids. When added, they permitted faster coverage of the sky than the pre-2002 system.
