Radar Images Provide New Details on Halloween Asteroid
Asteroid 2015 TB145 is depicted in eight individual radar images collected on Oct. 31, 2015 between 5:55 a.m. PDT (8:55 a.m. EDT) and 6:08 a.m. PDT (9:08 a.m. EDT). Image Credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech/GSSR/NRAO/AUI/NSF
The highest-resolution radar images of asteroid 2015 TB145's safe flyby of Earth have been processed. NASA scientists used giant, Earth-based radio telescopes to bounce radar signals off the asteroid as it flew past Earth on Oct. 31 at 10 a.m. PDT (1 p.m. EDT) at about 1.3 lunar distances (300,000 miles, or 480,000 kilometers) from Earth. Asteroid 2015 TB145 is spherical in shape and approximately 2,000 feet (600 meters) in diameter.
"The radar images of asteroid 2015 TB145 show portions of the surface not seen previously and reveal pronounced concavities, bright spots that might be boulders, and other complex features that could be ridges," said Lance Benner of NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California, who leads NASA's asteroid radar research program. "The images look distinctly different from the Arecibo radar images obtained on Oct. 30 and are probably the result of seeing the asteroid from a different perspective in its three-hour rotation period."
Radar images of asteroid 2015 TB145 acquired by Arecibo Observatory are available at these sites:

To obtain these highest-resolution radar images of the asteroid, scientists used the 230-foot (70-meter) DSS-14 antenna at Goldstone, California, to transmit high-power microwaves toward the asteroid. The signal bounced off the asteroid, and its radar echoes were received by the National Radio Astronomy Observatory's 100-meter (330-foot) Green Bank Telescope in West Virginia. The radar images achieve a spatial resolution as fine as 13 feet (4 meters) per pixel.
"Working with our observatory partners, we were able to get our resolution down to less than 13 feet (four meters) per pixel," said Shantanu Naidu, a postdoctoral student at the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena, and a member of the radar team. "It is a truly remarkable achievement-one which we will later be able to apply when future flyby opportunities present themselves."
The next time that asteroid 2015 TB145 will be in Earth's neighborhood will be in September 2018, when it will make a distant pass at about 24 million miles (38 million kilometers), or about a quarter the distance between Earth and the sun.
Radar is a powerful technique for studying an asteroid's size, shape, rotation, surface features and surface roughness, and for improving the calculation of asteroid orbits. Radar measurements of asteroid distances and velocities often enable computation of asteroid orbits much further into the future than would be possible otherwise.
NASA places a high priority on tracking asteroids and protecting our home planet from them. In fact, the U.S. has the most robust and productive survey and detection program for discovering near-Earth objects (NEOs). To date, U.S. assets have discovered about 98 percent of known NEOs.
In addition to the resources NASA puts into understanding asteroids, it also partners with other U.S. government agencies, university-based astronomers, and space science institutes across the country, often with grants, interagency transfers and other contracts from NASA, and also with international space agencies and institutions that are working to track and better understand these objects. In addition, NASA values the work of numerous highly skilled amateur astronomers, whose accurate observational data helps improve asteroid orbits after they are found.
JPL hosts the Center for Near-Earth Object Studies for NASA's Near-Earth Object Observations Program within the agency's Science Mission Directorate.

Anyone who played video games in the 1990s is likely familiar with
certain sexual tropes: the well endowed woman gently teasing the player via the conceit of flirting with the player's in game
character, the ambiguously gendered enigma who may be villain or ally, the always beautiful and ever helpless princess in the clutches of a dark lord.

I have been browsing online more than 2 hours today, yet I never
found any interesting article like yours. It is pretty worth enough for me.
Personally, if all website owners and bloggers made good
content as you did, the internet will be a lot more useful than ever before.
Howdy, i read your blog from time to time and i own a similar one and i was just curious if you get a lot of spam comments?
If so how do you protect against it, any plugin or anything you can advise?
I get so much lately it's driving me insane so any help
is very much appreciated.

Hi there just wanted to give you a quick heads up.
The text in your article seem to be running off the screen in Internet
explorer. I'm not sure if this is a formatting issue or something to do with web browser compatibility
but I thought I'd post to let you know. The design look great
though! Hope you get the problem fixed soon. Thanks
There are many concerns connected to this blog. Considerable time and energy
is wasted by individuals who frequently concentrate on the difficulties and prospective
problems. There may be some truth to their issues, but
for you personally a good deal is incumbent on how you respond

definitely far more productive than thinking about the complications.
Our wish is that you have been able to understand and make use of the
guidelines and hints that we've talked about in this review.
Nonetheless, there exists a lot more to be mastered
and, if that interests you, you should go to the trouble to visit us.
Howdy just wanted to give you a quick heads up and let you know a few of

We absolutely love your blog and find many of your post's to be precisely what I'm looking for.
Would you offer guest writers to write content available for you?
I wouldn't mind writing a post or elaborating on most of the subjects you write regarding here.
Again, awesome website!
Write more, thats all I have to say. Literally, it seems
as though you relied on the video to make your point.
You clearly know what youre talking about, why waste your intelligence on just posting videos to your weblog when you could be giving us something enlightening to read?
Howdy! I could have sworn I've been to this website before but after browsing through some of the post I realized it's new to me.
Nonetheless, I'm definitely happy I found it and I'll
be book-marking and checking back frequently!
Hi there Dear, are you in fact visiting this web
site on a regular basis, if so afterward you will definitely take good knowledge.
I am curious to find out what blog platform you
happen to be utilizing? I'm experiencing some minor security problems with my latest
website and I would like to find something more risk-free.
Do you have any solutions?
Many thanks for the share.I hope you will share once again.
Great blog! Is your theme custom made or did you download it from somewhere?
A design like yours with a few simple adjustements
would really make my blog stand out. Please let me know where you got your theme.
Thanks a lot
This design is spectacular! You most certainly know how
to keep a reader entertained. Between your wit and your videos, I was
almost moved to start my own blog (well, almost...HaHa!) Great job.
I really enjoyed what you had to say, and more than that, how
you presented it. Too cool!
Do you have a spam issue on this website; I also am a blogger, and I was wondering your
situation; we have developed some nice practices and we are looking
to exchange solutions with others, be sure to shoot me an e-mail if interested.
Thanks for finally writing about >Radar Images Provide New Details on Halloween Asteroid | The Visible Sky <Loved it!
When someone writes an article he/she maintains the image of a user in his/her mind that how a user
can be aware of it. Thus that's why this paragraph is great.
Thanks!
