It should be noted that we actually use this method to work out the size/shape of small asteroids that are too distant to clearly make out in a telescope. If you line up a few astronomers with telescopes over an area approximately the size of the object, and wait for it to pass in front of a distant star, then you can gather the measurements of when the star disappears from all those observers and get an outline of the object. https://sky-lights.org/2018/10/01/qa-determining-asteroid-shape-from-occultation-timings/ https://sky-lights.org/2018/10/01/qa-determining-asteroid-sh... https://occultations.org/ https://occultations.org/
