DESCRIPTION:Radar Imaging of Near Earth Asteroids\nMay 9 & 10\nRadar is a v
ery powerful astronomical technique for studying the physical properties a
nd refining the orbits of near-Earth asteroids. The world’s only two rad
ar telescopes for imaging asteroids are at Arecibo\, Puerto Rico\, and Gol
dstone\, California. These telescopes can image near-Earth asteroids with
resolutions as fine as several meters\, which greatly exceeds the finest r
esolution available from any ground- or space-based optical telescope (eve
n the Hubble Space Telescope). Radar images reveal an object’s size\, sh
ape\, rotation state\, and features on its surface such as craters\, ridge
s\, and even large boulders\, and have discovered that 1/6 of near-Earth a
steroids larger than 200 meters in diameter are double systems that revolv
e around each other\, like miniature versions of the Earth and Moon\, and
that 10% of near-Earth asteroids look like gigantic peanuts\, while others
resemble muffins and potatoes! \nSpeaker: Dr. Lance Benner\, Research Sci
