The discovery was made along with his team members of Team Salonivia Conquerors.<\/p>\n<p>Ronaldo &amp; team used exclusive data to look at specific parts of the sky and by using a complex procedure called ?&#8221;Astrometrica&#8221;,? they tracked objects by looking at the images of the sky provided by telescope-based in the US to see which of the objects moving over time could be a possible asteroid.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/kanglaonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/AesteroidSearch.jpg\" rel=\"lightbox-1\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-69059\" src=\"http:\/\/kanglaonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/AesteroidSearch.jpg\" alt=\"AesteroidSearch\" width=\"356\" height=\"192\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The asteroid search is conducted globally by the international Astronomical Search Collaboration(IASC),and in India by SPACE,a Delhi-based science popularisation organisation that conducts space-related events and competitions for students.The IASC released real time data of space from which Ronaldo made his observations through a special software and sending daily reports to the IASC. \u201dIt is therefore important to keep a close watch on these objects for the safety of the Earth,\u201d said an official from SPACE. He added\u201dAll observations contribute to the Near Earth Object(NEO) data compiled by NASA and Jet Propulsion Lab(JPL)\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Ronaldo,\u00a0who is currently studying Computer Science and Engineering in SJCE, Mysore, is the youngest son of\u00a0Laishram Mahajon and L(O) Sanahanbi of Khangabok, Thoubal District Manipur. Having always been fascinated by Celestial objects, \u00a0he was interested in researching and\u00a0observing\u00a0celestial objects since childhood.
