Perhaps the most visually striking and scientifically compelling application of ISAR is in the deep space imaging of asteroids. A particularly beautiful example of this is the so-called "dog's bone" 216 Kleopatra asteroid, which lies roughly 20% further away from the earth than the sun. The asteroid is only 60 miles wide at its midpoint. Yet the imagery is crisp and looks like an optical image. This has been cited as akin to using a Los Angeles telescope the size of the human eye's lens to image a car in New York. Of course, the trick here is that the asteroid is presented among a very sparse background, allowing for substantial disambiguation.
