An engineering student of Coimbatore based Karunya University along with his Chinese friend, discovered a new Asteroid. In a communication during the recently concluded 45-day campaign conducted by the International Asteroid Search Collaboration (IASC), it is stated that Atul Felix Payapilly and his friend Zhang from China have discovered the "Main belt Asteroid 2010 RR52." The name given to the new asteroid would be temporary and the progress would be followed till the asteroid's orbit was completely known.
The asteroid will be then assigned a number and placed in the world's official catalog maintained by the Minor Planet Center and the International Astronomical Union in Paris. Once it reached the numbered status, the student would be given 10 years time to give a name for the asteroid, which would be approved by the Union, Dr Patrick Miller, founder of IASC, said in his communication to Paul P Appasamy, Vice-Chancellor of the Karunya University.
