LINEAR's discovery of the first asteroid confirmed to have an orbit entirely within that of the Earth was announced on February 12th.

I've created an SSC for "2003 CP20" and made it available at http://www.lns.cornell.edu/~seb/celestia/minor-planets.html#3.2.4. The .ssc file includes an InfoURL to one of the news articles.
