It is an irregularly shaped rock, about 35 meters across and the view was from a ground telescope in #Italy. Therefore, the view was a white dot that got brighter or dimmer (even briefly disappeared) depending on which side was facing us.
The soon to be five year old had a good time, but wasn't able to articulate what he saw.
