Radar Image of 2016 AJ193 - bigmasterdrago - 2021-09-04
Recall 2016 AJ193 close pass a couple weeks ago? Looks like some radar images were captured.

From the orbit simulation image at closest approach of 2016 AJ193, it appears we were getting ready to have a few other close visitors in the coming 10 days. The view is from above Earth. I also created a short video simulating the next ~3 weeks. You can see the small rocks approach b4 they were discovered. https://vimeo.com/manage/videos/597556676
