Giant brick in space
« on: February 14, 2017, 01:58:10 PM »


Radar imaging of a close flyby of an asteroid shows a very angular object.

It may be my Kenmore refrigerator that recently turned into a brick! I was about ready to launch it into space myself after spending a total of about 10 hours on hold with Sears warranty services!!!    >:(

Sears is replacing it with a brand new fridge on Saturday, so no worries about warm beer at least.   :)

Here is what I want to know, how does radar imaging show light shading? I'm guessing it must be computer shaded based upon telling it an artificial light source.
