Arecibo Snaps New NEO Image

[Rick]

Experts using the largest single-aperture telescope in the world have recently imaged a new near-Earth object (NEO) passing close to our planet. Designated as 2005 YU55, the space rock was observed on April 19 using the Arecibo Observatory in Puerto Rico. The facility, with its 305-meter (1,001-foot) aperture, is capable of producing tremendously-detailed images in radio wavelengths, and is uniquely qualified to conduct high-quality NEO research. The facility is operated by astronomers at the Cornell University, in Ithaca, New York, under a cooperative agreement with the US National Science Foundation (NSF).
