I did not render this model, I just resize, soften and simplified it Windows 3D Builder to share the same scale as other objects. The original file is from the collection of asteroid radar detection of the PDS site.
The file's names explained: name_1_x_10_y.stl is 1 : x* 10^y. So _1_6_10_7 is 1:600000000 or one in 60 million.
