First specialized asteroid mission and NEARly forgotten one. And first landing on asteroid!
So it's time to change it. First image is Mathilde in enhanced colors from 450, 550 and 700 nm filters. Second is artificially colorised high resolution mosaic (116 m/pix).

Very nice! We had a thread on here until a year ago about Eros, so it's not totally forgotten, but there's a lot more that could be done with the images.
