LIVE ASTRONOMICAL INFORMATION
Astronomical Alerts
Recent astronomical information from the European Space Agency's Near-Earth Object Coordination Centre (NEOCC), the International Astronomical Union's Transient Name Server (TNS), and the Comet OBServation database (COBS).
ESA NEOCC
Imminent impactors
Near-Earth asteroids with a confirmed 100% probability of impacting Earth, as identified by the European Space Agency's Near-Earth Object Coordination Centre (NEOCC).

ESA NEOCC identifies imminent impactors using observations and analysis from its asteroid monitoring systems. The information displayed here is automatically retrieved from the ESA NEOCC website and may change as new observations become available. Note: ESA NEOCC may retain imminent impactor information on this page for up to 15 days after the predicted impact date. The presence of an object here does not necessarily mean that an impact is still imminent.
TRANSIENT NAME SERVER
Recent transient announcements
Newly reported astronomical transients from the International Astronomical Union's Transient Name Server (TNS), including possible supernovae, novae and tidal disruption events.

TNS announcements are retrieved automatically from the TNS public hourly data feed and updated by Billingborough Observatory's local data collector. The latest announcements are displayed here with links to the corresponding TNS object pages.
COBS
Recent comet observations
Recent observations submitted to the Comet OBServation database (COBS), showing comets that are currently being observed by amateur and professional astronomers.

Billingborough Observatory displays recent observation metadata and links to the corresponding COBS comet page. The observations are supplied by COBS and are not observations made by Billingborough Observatory.
