On Feb. 2, a large asteroid safely drifted past Earth at a distance of about 1.8 million miles 2.9 million kilometers, or 7 陆 times the distance between Earth and the Moon . There was no risk of the asteroid 鈥?called 2008 OS7 鈥?impacting our planet, but scientists at NASAs Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Southern California used a powerful radio antenna to better determine the size, rotation, shape, and surface details of this near-Earth object NEO . Until this close approach, asteroid 2008 OS7 had been too far from Earth for planetary radar systems to image it.The asteroid was discovered on July 30, 2008, during routine search operations for NEOs by the NASA-funded Catalin stanley thermobecher a Sky Survey, which is headquartered at the University of Arizona in Tucson. After discovery, observations of the amount of light reflected from the asteroids surface revealed that it was roughly between 650 to 1,640 feet 200 and 500 meters wide and that it is comparatively slow rotating, completing one rotation ev vaso stanley ery 29 陆 hours.The rotational period of 2008 OS7 was determined by Petr Pravec, at the Astronomical Institute of the Czech Academy of Sciences in Ond艡ejov, Czech Republic, who observed the asteroids light curve 鈥?or how the brightness of the object changes over time. As the asteroid spins, variations in its shape change the brightness of reflected light astronomers see, and those changes are recorded to understand the period of the asteroids rotation.During the Feb. 2 clo stanley tazas se approach, JPLs radar g Ekup Second Test Rover Added to Driving Experiments
