Aseel Nama, an undergraduate student in Technion’s biomedical engineering department, participated in a NASA-led month-long asteroid hunting campaign.
Two newly found asteroids will be named after an Israeli student at Technion Israel Institute of Technology, according to a press release from the university.
Aseel Nama, an undergraduate student in Technion’s biomedical engineering department, participated in a NASA-led month-long asteroid hunting campaign, a competition where teams of “citizen scientists” can enter and parse astronomical data. Nama was the only competitor to participate alone, and the only Israeli out of 116 teams worldwide.
“I really wanted to take part in this campaign,” Nama said, “but NASA insisted that I recruit a team of three people. I explained that I wasn’t able to recruit anyone else, but that this is my dream.” Eventually, NASA agreed.
