If you're ever inclined to observe (3753) Cruithne or (5577) Priestley, you'd make an old man very happy ๐Ÿ˜ On the other hand, the City of Brisbane would love good photos of (5277) Brisbane!

This graph shows the measured brightness of Salvia going up and down with a regular and repeating period of 4.3 hours as it tumbles through space, rotating around and reflecting different amounts of sunlight from its surface. ๐Ÿ”ญ ๐Ÿงช ๐Ÿ‘ฉ๐Ÿปโ€๐Ÿ”ฌ
