About this image

Two graphs showing the brightness variation of the lunar impactor, 2025-010D, on the nights of 10th and 21st May. There are some very pronounced glints of 1.5mags on top of the 1 mag or so normal rotation variation.

I've not done a formal analysis, but - eyeballing it - its looking like something like a 210sec period.  

Magnitudes provided by Tycho-Tracker, which did well to get them given it was only 10 sec exposures and the object dropped below 18th mag on the 10th.
