For a sec I thought Hoaxland was trying to pull off the artists rendition as the new photo.
Richard Hoagland sent out first pictures of YU-55 and it does not look anything at all like a “typical asteroid”. I took the raw image (left side of first photo) and did some enhancements to improve the image.
YU-55 has an interesting geometry. The side facing the satellite telescope that captured it makes it look hemispherical or saucer-shaped, similar to the blinking craft that is seen in the famous NASA video of the broken tether experiment that drifted away and was surrounded by “ice crystal” UFOs (according to NASA).
To my eye, there seems to be too much symmetry in this object for it to be an ordinary asteroid. Let me know what you think. It looks more like a tiny moon.
