caption_attribution_description: English: On 21 Feb 2018, radar imagery of 3752 Camillo was obtained with the Arecibo Radiotelescope in Puerto Rico. Optical observations suggested an elongated body with a slow rotation, but radar reveals an unexpectedly angular, double-lobed shape seen in very few near-Earth asteroids.
context_page_description: 3752 Camillo is a inclined asteroid, classified as near-Earth object of the Apollo group, approximately 2.3 kilometers in diameter. It was discovered on 15 August 1985, by astronomers Eleanor Helin and Maria Barucci using a 0.9-metre telescope at the CERGA Observatory in Caussols, France. Lightcurve studies by Petr Pravec in 1998 suggest that the assumed S-type asteroid has an elongated shape and a longer-than average rotation period of 38 hours.
