Asteroid Optics: A Theoretical Framework for Celestial Light Manipulation

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: This paper introduces asteroid optics, a theoretical field exploring how light interacts with asteroid surfaces and how these bodies could be used as natural optical tools in space observation. By understanding their shapes, materials, and reflective properties, we can develop new ways to observe distant objects, reduce costs, and navigate space using light itself.
