Summary
[edit]DescriptionAsteroid Steins a diamond in space pillars.jpg |
English: Asteroid Steins seen from a distance of 800 km, taken by the OSIRIS camera on board Rosetta. The effective diameter of the asteroid is 5 km, approximately as predicted. At the top of the asteroid (as shown in this image), a large crater, approximately 1.5-km in size, can be seen. Scientists were amazed that the asteroid survived the impact that was responsible for the crater. |
