A Radar View of a Medium-Sized Asteroid This radar image reveals the curious dog-bone shape of the asteroid 216 Kleopatra. The 300-m Arecibo radio telescope in Puerto Rico was used both to send radio waves toward Kleopatra and to detect the waves that were reflected back. Scientists then created this image by computer analysis of the reflected waves.
