47 Aglaja, interpreted illustration
Interpreted illustration · dimension stated in the fact sheet.

What does this number measure?

Effective diameter estimated in the NASA/JPL SBDB database. This describes an overall size and does not assume a spherical shape. A resolved image of its surface is not necessarily available.

Compare the stated dimensions

The comparison uses the number in each fact sheet: altitude, height, diameter, length or distance, depending on the reference. Two values in metres do not necessarily describe the same property.

Source and limitations

Catalogue value: a source is provided, but the measurement has not been individually audited in this project.

Artist’s impression: hypothetical shape, terrain and colours; no observed surface map is claimed. The effective diameter is a separate NASA/JPL estimate, not a measurement of the illustration.
