TL;DR: The SuperWASP cameras at the Observatorio del Roque de los Muchachos on the island of La Palma in the Canary Islands, and at the Sutherland Station of the South African Astronomical Observatory have a field of view of some 482 deg2 with an angular scale of 13 as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: A dedicated search along the approach trajectory recovered 47 meteorites, fragments of a single body named Almahata Sitta, with a total mass of 3.95 kg, identifying the asteroid as F class, now firmly linked to dark carbon-rich anomalous ureilites, a material so fragile it was not previously represented in meteorite collections.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors detected low-amplitude radial-velocity variations in two stars, USNO-B1.0 1219− 0005465 (GSC 02265−00107 = WASP•B1) and WASP-2b, which were identified as likely host stars of transiting exoplanets in the 2004 SuperWASP wide-field transit survey.
