Visibility II / V
16 The Psyche asteroid was selected as the subject of a series of shots because in August of this year, NASA plans to send a Psyche spacecraft to explore this interesting 'iron' celestial body.
The sonar is scheduled to arrive in 2026.
The asteroid's spin time is about 4 hours, so in three hours I couldn't see the whole lap. On top of all that, at midnight, I experienced an unfortunate technical problem that shows up as missing data on the curve.
Edit: changed curve now made with Tycho
