Halloween Asteroid is a Radar Science Treat



Δημοσιεύτηκε στις 29 Οκτ 2015
JPL
scientist Marina Brozovic explains how radar will be used to study
asteroid 2015 TB145 when it safely passes Earth on Oct. 31, 2015.
Scientists are tracking the Halloween flyby with several optical
observatories and the radar capabilities of the agency's Deep Space
Network at Goldstone, California. Radar images should be available
within a few days of the flyby.
The asteroid will fly past Earth at a
safe distance slightly farther than the moon's orbit on Oct. 31 at
10:01 a.m. PDT (1:01 p.m. EDT). Scientists are treating the flyby of the
estimated 1,300-foot-wide (400-meter) asteroid as a science target of
opportunity. Full story at http://www.jpl.nasa.gov/news/news.php...
