Eighteen students from Chandigarh University in India have been named NASA Citizen Scientists for discovering two new asteroids, provisionally labeled 'DIV/1111' and 'ANC/0505', during a 45-day international program.
Participating in the NASA-affiliated International Asteroid Search Campaign, they analyzed real data from the Pan-STARRS telescope system using specialized software, identifying moving celestial objects.
Their findings, verified to international standards, contribute to tracking near-Earth and main belt asteroids.
The students, mostly from aerospace engineering, demonstrated scientific rigor and earned recognition for their role in planetary defense and space research.
The achievement highlights India’s growing involvement in space science and the university’s commitment to hands-on STEM education and global collaboration.
