Astronomical Marvels Revealed
NASA’s Goldstone Planetary Radar recently provided us with a remarkable glimpse into the cosmos. On July 28, 2025, this advanced radar system captured a series of 41 stunning images of the near-Earth asteroid 2025 OW during its close approach to our planet. These images offer valuable insights into the characteristics and behaviors of this fast-spinning celestial body.
The data collected from these observations will contribute significantly to our understanding of asteroids, particularly those that come close to Earth. The Goldstone Solar System Radar is a part of NASA’s Deep Space Network, which plays a pivotal role in studying objects within our solar system. This close encounter serves as a reminder of the dynamic nature of our universe and the potential risks and opportunities posed by near-Earth objects.
