"Stadium-Sized Asteroid Tumbles by Earth in NASA Radar Images"
NASA's powerful radar system captured images of a stadium-sized asteroid, 2008 OS7, as it safely passed by Earth at a distance of 1.8 million miles. The radar observations revealed that the asteroid is smaller than initially estimated, measuring around 500 to 650 feet across, and rotates at an unusually slow rate. The Goldstone Solar System Radar's DSS-14 antenna, located in California's Mojave Desert, played a crucial role in these observations, providing valuable insights into near-Earth objects.
