Summary
| Description |
English: Digital rendering of a rotating 470 × 383 × 245 ellipsoid, representing the elongated trans-Neptunian object 208996 Achlys as it would appear when viewed from Earth in 2014. The ellipsoid is oriented with an opening angle of 50 degrees with respect to the plane of the background (or 40 degrees wrt camera line of sight) and a position angle of 78 degrees counterclockwise from the north, as described in Dias-Oliveira et al. (2017). This plot was rendered in Python with the aid of scipy.spatial's ConvexHull method and matplotlib's pyplot and animation modules. |
