Accounting for the rotation of space debris in imaging

Caption

From left to right: Space debris modeled as a cluster of six reflective objects, an image developed of the debris without accounting for the objects' rotation, and an image developed after accounting for the objects' rotation. Accounting for the rotation produces a much clearer image.
