File:Asteroid 2002 JF56.jpg
Summary
The two "spots" in this image are a composite of two images of asteroid <a href="//commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/(132524)_APL" title="(132524) APL">2002 JF56</a> taken on June 11 and June 12, 2006, with the Multispectral Visible Imaging Camera (MVIC) component of the New Horizons Ralph imager. In the bottom image, taken when the asteroid was about 3.36 million kilometers (2.1 million miles) away from the spacecraft, 2002 JF56 appears like a dim star. At top, taken at a distance of about 1.34 million kilometers (833,000 miles), the object is more than a factor of six brighter. The best current, estimated diameter of the asteroid is approximately 2.5 kilometers.
