The Japanese Hayabusa 2 twitter account reports that the spacecraft has begun descending toward Ryugu in preparation to deploy the MASCOT lander. Nothing on the English twitter as of the time of this post.

Still no information on scale, so it is hard to know what we are looking at. What I am interested in is the first picture, showing the DLR control room. A woman is in the left foreground looking at the projected information on the wall. In the left part of that information is an image of some rocky terrain that does not seem to be among the other pictures they have released.
