👉 In the context of astronomy, a "keeled" object is an astronomical object that appears to be slightly flattened or bent. This can happen due to various factors such as incomplete observations, atmospheric distortion, or even the presence of small satellites or moons orbiting around it. The term "keeled" refers to the appearance of a celestial body with a slight curvature when viewed from space, and is often used in conjunction with other terms like "flat," "rounded," or "elongated."
