IASC is an international educational outreach programme which includes Lawrence Hall of Science, Berkeley and Global Hands-on-Universe Association (USA) and other International organisations, which conduct programmes enabling students to be involved in hands-on, real time astronomy.
Using images taken of the sky in the night with the 24" and 32" telescopes at the Astronomical Research Institute (ARI) Observatory, USA, the programme gave students a chance to sift through data with specialised software to make original discoveries of Main Belt asteroids and important observations that contribute to the Nasa Near-Earth Object (NEO) Program at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory.
