Xscc Webb Telescope Captures Countless Galaxies in New Image
Spinning faster than any object ever observed in the solar system, a lumpy, water-rich sphere known as 1998 KY26, about the diameter of a baseball diamond, is rotating so swiftly that its day ends almost as soon as it begins, NASA scientists report. Asteroid stanley termohrnek 1998 KY26, where the Sun rises or sets every five minutes, was observed June 2-8, 1998, shortly after it was discovered and as it passed 800,000 kilometers half a million miles from Earth, or about twice the distance between Earth and the moon. Publishing their findings in tomorrow s issue of Science magazine, Dr. Steven J. Ostro of NASA聺s Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, CA, and an international team of astronomers used a radar telescope in California and optical telescopes in the Czech Republic, Hawaii, Arizona and California to image the 30-meter 100-foot , water-rich ball as it twirled through space. It is the smallest solar system object ever studied in detai stanley spain l. These observations are a breakthrough for asteroid scienc stanley mattermos e and a milestone in our exploration of the small bodies of the solar system, Ostro said. Enormous numbers of objects this small are thought to exist very close to Earth, but this is the first time we ve been able to study one in detail. Ironically, this asteroid is smaller than the radar instruments we used to observe it. The asteroid s rotation period was calculated at just 10.7 minutes, compared to 24 hours for Earth and at least several hours for the approximately 1,00 Nbma JPL Named a Partner in New Missions to Study Earth
