Scientific paper

Every Fall, the Apache Point Observatory repeatedly images the skies near declination 0 degrees in a quest to see first light from distant supernovae. The Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) uses the data from these images to map the Universe. These data are made available on the internet for use by the public. While analyzing these images, we discovered the presence of a transient light source that subsequent analysis showed our ?mystery object? to be an asteroid. We present here the details of the analysis that allowed us to determine the identity of our ?mystery object.? Learn how you can access the SDSS database and make your own discovery!
