Never seen before: an asteroid with a planet in its background... and it's not ITS "own" planet!

Lutetia and Saturn!!! WOW OH WOW OH WOW! Someone tell me there's at least a three filter set of this image. -------------------- If Occam had heard my theory, things would be very different now.

Someone tell me there's at least a three filter set of this image. Don't worry. If there wasn't Gordan will provide one. I'm kicking myself now because when I looked at the last few approach shots I thought I saw linear features that might be Phobos-like grooves (at the bottom of the images) but didn't have the courage to post. |
