Giving up on TNO's?

Have the astronomers given up searching for Transneptunian Objects?
No money from NASA?

I think you should keep on looking.

Thanx for your time.

No, although the level of funding is low. I think the search for TNO's
or Kuiper Belt Objects (KBO's) and studies are still continuing at the
University of Hawaii for example:

Yes.

Oh ya

If you go to

http:/cfa-www.harvard.edu/iau/Ephemerides/Distant/index.html

you will see that there are NO 2005 numbers. They've given up. Too busy
searching for near earth objects. Which I think is wrong. If an doomsday
object is going to hit us, it's going to hit.
