On that day polymer will pass in front of the star“Enpei”It was expected to be noticed. Backbiting is a phenomenon in which a celestial body passes in front of another celestial body, obscuring the latter from the observer’s view. The best known example occurs when the Moon passes between the Sun and the Earth, obscuring the Sun from our view.eclipsehe is.

When the mission team analyzed the observation data, it was said that an object with a diameter of about 5 kilometers was detected at a distance of about 200 kilometers from the polymer.
