'''''Minor Planet Circulars''''' ('''''MPCs'''''), established 1947, is a [[scientific journal]] that is generally published on the date of each [[full moon]] by the [[Minor Planet Center]]. The ''Circulars'' contain [[astrometric]] observations, orbits and ephemerides of minor planets, [[comets]] and certain [[natural satellites]]. The astrometric observations of comets are published in full, while the minor planet observations are summarised by observatory code (the full observations now being given in the ''Minor Planet Circulars'' Supplement). New numberings and namings of minor planets, as well as numberings of periodic comets, are announced in the ''Circulars''. New orbits for comets and natural satellites appear in the ''Circulars''; new orbits for minor planets appear in the Minor Planets and Comets Orbit Supplement.
