Post Holiday Festivities

On Halloween of 2015, NASA scientists tracked a flyby of asteroid 2015 TB145 with several observatories. The purpose of viewing this asteroid would be to test several new capabilities to obtain radar images with two-meter resolution for the first time and to see new levels of detail. This means that if we can have better resolution of the asteroid. We will be able to have better resolution of the stellar bodies in our solar system and have even more capabilities to measure stars from farther distances. This would mean we will be able to explore our universe with a much better perspective.

(the focal length equation is d = (f_1)^-1 +(f_2)^-1)
