Kleopatra

Kleopatra — asteroid, explore its interactive 3D model in Cosmoscope.

Explore Kleopatra in a live 3D Solar System. Follow its calculated motion and inspect real astronomical data, distances and orbital facts.

An elongated asteroid with two known moons. The displayed body is a historical radar reconstruction from the NASA PDS archive, kept at that model’s original scale. More recent observations have revised its dimensions; this is not a spacecraft surface scan.

Historical radar shape; later estimates are larger

Explore Kleopatra in 3D

Cosmoscope places Kleopatra in the Solar System using astronomical ephemeris or orbital elements, updated for the simulation time. Explore its calculated motion, distance and orbital facts in the interactive 3D view. Accuracy depends on the orbital model and its valid time range.
