We present a novel method for characterising nanoparticles through analysis of their light scattering. We examine the resultant angularly resolved Rayleigh scattering patterns by aligning and orienting single optically levitated nanoparticles in a vacuum with trapping light. We compare our experimental findings with simulations of the Rayleigh scattered field, which allow us to determine in-situ the morphology of individual nanoparticles. While primarily utilized in low-damping environments, this method can also be applied in traditional overdamped fluids, paving the way for precision measurements of single isolated nanoparticles.
