Movie of a near-Earth binary asteroid built from the estimations from radar observations.
This movie has been cropped and gif-ed from the
QuickTime file released on the source page. The GIF animation cycles for one orbit, since revolutions and librations of the bodies have different periods, a jerk appears at each cycle. For a better rendering, or for other views, follow the link to the source.
The NASA website hosts a large number of images from the
Soviet/
Russian space agency, and other non-American space agencies. These are not necessarily in the public domain.
The
SOHO (ESA & NASA) joint project implies that all materials created by its probe are copyrighted and require permission for commercial non-educational use.
