( also written 2004 AS1 ), also known by the temporary name AL00667, is a near-Earth asteroid, first discovered on January 13, 2004, by the LINEAR project.

The asteroid was discovered in 1998 by the LINEAR project and was given the provisional designation.

( also written 2004 HK33 ) is a Near-Earth object ( an Apollo asteroid ) discovered in the morning of April 21, 2004 by astronomers of the Lincoln Near-Earth Asteroid Research ( LINEAR ) project.

One of the best-known is LINEAR that began in 1996.

LINEAR was responsible for the majority of asteroid detections from 1998 until it was overtaken by the Catalina Sky Survey in 2005., LINEAR had detected 231, 082 new objects, of which at least 2, 423 were near-Earth asteroids and 279 were comets.

2004 FH is a near-Earth asteroid that was discovered on March 15, 2004, by the NASA-funded LINEAR asteroid survey.

( also written ( 53319 ) 1999 JM8 ) is a near-Earth asteroid and Mars-crosser asteroid discovered by LINEAR.

( also written 2002 AA29 ) is a small near-Earth asteroid that was discovered on January 9, 2002 by the LINEAR ( Lincoln Near Earth Asteroid Research ) automatic sky survey.

In 2005, the Catalina Sky Survey became the most prolific NEO survey surpassing Lincoln Near-Earth Asteroid Research ( LINEAR ) in total number of NEOs and PHAs discovered each year since.

The 1994 impact of Comet Shoemaker-Levy 9 with Jupiter served as a " wake-up call ", and astronomers responded by starting programs such as Lincoln Near-Earth Asteroid Research ( LINEAR ), Near-Earth Asteroid Tracking ( NEAT ), Lowell Observatory Near-Earth Object Search ( LONEOS ) and several others which have drastically increased the rate of asteroid discovery.

In addition to discovering hundreds of thousands of asteroids, LINEAR is also credited with the discovery, or co-discovery, or rediscovery of several periodic comets, including 11P / Tempel-Swift-LINEAR, 158P / Kowal-LINEAR, 160P / LINEAR ( LINEAR 43 ), 165P / LINEAR ( LINEAR 10 ), and 176P / LINEAR ( LINEAR 52, 118401 LINEAR: one of only five objects classified both as comets and asteroids ).

Shortly after the discovery by LINEAR, Scientists at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory ( JPL ), the Athabasca University ( Canada ), the Queen ’ s University in Kingston ( Ontario, Canada ), the York University in Toronto and the Tuorla Observatory of the University of Turku in Finland determined the unusual orbit of, and through further observations at the Canada – France – Hawaii Telescope in Hawaii it was confirmed that:

LINEAR uses two one-meter telescopes and one half-meter telescope based in New Mexico.

The first LINEAR telescope became fully operational in March of 1998.

The Lincoln Near-Earth Asteroid Research ( LINEAR ) Project is another example of a professional robotic telescope.

By 2004 LINEAR was discovering tens of thousands of objects each year and accounting for 65 % of all new asteroid detections.

* Sky Database for Objects in Time-Domain provides corrected LINEAR data.

Then Rosetta pointed its instruments again towards Comet LINEAR for observation.

In recent years automated search efforts such as LINEAR or LONEOS have discovered so many thousands of new asteroids that the Center for Small Body Nomenclature has officially limited naming to a maximum of two names per discoverer every two months.

17092 Sharanya is a minor planet or asteroid discovered by the LINEAR programme of MIT Lincoln Laboratory at Massachusetts Institute of Technology and named by researchers there for a young girl, S. Sharanya, from Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu, India, a student at Avila Convent in that town, in recognition for reaching the finals of the 2003 Intel International Science and Engineering Fair.

17091 Senthalir is a minor planet or asteroid discovered by the LINEAR programme of MIT Lincoln Laboratory at Massachusetts Institute of Technology and named by researchers there for a young girl, P. Senthalir, from Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu, India, a student at Avila Convent in that town, in recognition for reaching the finals of the 2003 Intel International Science and Engineering Fair.

There are only four other objects that are cross-listed as both comets and asteroids: 2060 Chiron ( 95P / Chiron ), Comet 133P / Elst – Pizarro ( 7968 Elst – Pizarro ), 60558 Echeclus ( 174P / Echeclus ), and 118401 LINEAR ( 176P / LINEAR ).

At present, there are only four other objects that are cross-listed as both comets and asteroids: 2060 Chiron ( 95P / Chiron ), 4015 Wilson-Harrington ( 107P / Wilson-Harrington ), 60558 Echeclus ( 174P / Echeclus ), and 118401 LINEAR ( 176P / LINEAR, previously ).

was discovered on November 25, 1998, by LINEAR about four months after a particularly close encounter with the planet Mercury ( about 0. 047 au ).

A brisk, amusing man, apparently constructed on an ingenious system of spring-joints attuned to the same peppery rhythm as his mind, Smith began his academic career teaching speech to Barnard girls -- a project considerably enlivened by his devotion to a recording about `` a young rat named Arthur, who never could make up his mind ''.

Dürer may well have worked on some of these, as the work on the project began while he was with Wolgemut.

There, with the support of a group of professors and students, he began reinventing a project that would make him famous: the geodesic dome.

Planning for the Big Dig as a project officially began in 1982, with environmental impact studies starting in 1983.

Oil exploitation in the southern Doba region began in June 2000, with World Bank Board approval to finance a small portion of a project, the Chad-Cameroon Petroleum Development Project, aimed at transport of Chadian crude through a 1000-km.

The project began in 605 and was completed in 609, although much of the work combined older canals, the oldest section of the canal existing since at least 486 BC.

The eventual successful project, organised by Eurotunnel, began construction in 1988 and opened in 1994.

, two years after its implementation began, the security situation of inside Colombia has shown some measure of an improvement and the economy, while still fragile, has also shown some positive signs according to observers, but relatively little has yet to have been accomplished in structurally solving most of the country's other grave problems, possibly in part due to legislative and political conflicts between the administration and the Colombian Congress ( including those over the controversial project to eventually re-elect Uribe ), and a relative lack of freely allocated funds and credits.

Cygwin began in 1995 as a project of Steve Chamberlain, a Cygnus engineer who observed that Windows NT and 95 used COFF as their object file format, and that GNU already included support for x86 and COFF, and the C library newlib.

This project began with the construction and improvement of the Illinois and Michigan Canal, and was completed with the Chicago Sanitary and Ship Canal that connects to the Illinois River, which flows into the Mississippi River.

Work began on the East Stand in 1972 but the project was beset with problems and was never completed ; the cost brought the club close to bankruptcy, culminating in the freehold being sold to property developers.

The project began when diver Bill Smith was inspired to look for the wreck after hearing the Marillion song " Out of This World " ( from the album Afraid of Sunlight ), which was written about Campbell and Bluebird.

He was at first impressed with Heidegger and began a book on him, but broke off the project when Heidegger became involved with the Nazis.

In 1991, Coppola and Warner Bros. began discussing the project and two others involving the life of J. Edgar Hoover and the children's novel The Secret Garden.

In 2000, the FBI began the Trilogy project to upgrade its outdated information technology ( IT ) infrastructure.

Crick began a Ph. D. research project on measuring viscosity of water at high temperatures ( which he later described as " the dullest problem imaginable ") in the laboratory of physicist Edward Neville da Costa Andrade at University College, London, but with the outbreak of World War II ( in particular, an incident during the Battle of Britain when a bomb fell through the roof of the laboratory and destroyed his experimental apparatus ), Crick was deflected from a possible career in physics.

Crick was in the right place, in the right frame of mind, at the right time ( 1949 ), to join Max Perutz ’ s project at Cambridge University, and he began to work on the X-ray crystallography of proteins.

The crisis came to a head in April when, sitting in his Cinecittà office, he began a letter to Rizzoli confessing he had " lost his film " and had to abandon the project.

The commission began shortly after the boys concluded their project.

In anticipation of increased regional air traffic to the facility, an EU-subsidized construction project began in January of that year, intended to upgrade the terminal building and extend the primary paved runway to a usable length of 4000 feet.

In 1996, Arlington's campus began its first phase in a three phase campus redevelopment project.

The project began in early January 1996, with a program that ran on i386 computers.
