Quote: To create these new images of "The Beast," researchers bounced radio signals at the asteroid from NASA's DSS-14 antenna at Goldstone, Cali. Coupled with photos snapped by the giant William E. Gordon Telescope located at Arecibo Observatory in Puerto Rico, the data resulted in some of the most detailed, highest-resolution images ever recorded of a near-Earth asteroid.

Seemed like they're using one radio antenna as a narrow-beam "flashlight" while Arecibo read out the picture. Interesting technique but not too outlandish.
ReplyDeleteCould Arecibo have been used in XM transmission experiments?
