Astronomy Observations at Various Observatories
A summary of recent astronomical observations at Kysuce Observatory in Slovakia, Virginio Cesarini Observatory in Italy, and Shed of Science Observatory in the USA. The astronomers have been actively involved in tracking newly discovered Solar System bodies, observing cometary activity on asteroids and NEOs, and working on binary asteroid projects.
Marian Urbanik from Slovakia's Kysuce Observatory was actively involved in observing and tracking small Solar System bodies throughout 2024. The campaign in 2024 and 2025 was productive, with over two thousand observations contributing to tracking newly discovered Solar System bodies.
Massimo Calabresi from Italy's Virginio Cesarini Observatory, managed by the Roman Amateur Astronomers Association, resumed observation activities after renovation works in summer 2024. They discovered cometary activity on 4 asteroids, being the first to discover it on two comets.
Russ Durkee from the USA, operating from Minnesota's Shed of Science Observatory, continued observing binary asteroids as part of Petr Pravec's project. Notable projects included observations of the Jupiter Trojan binary 617 Patroclus-Menoetius in support of NASA's Lucy fly-by mission in 2033.
