Wow! Takes me back to 14 years old....
And that thin streak on the lower left (top of an enormous boulder, just barely in the Sun?) Now we wait for LICIACube (and Hera, eventually) |

What is that light "bar" on the lower left side of Dimorphos? Present in multiple images, doesn't seem to be a camera artifact. Another object behind Dimorphos?

Another object behind Dimorphos? The illuminated rim of a relatively large crater (or some other depression). For example like here:

Fascinating fact from the presser: looks like the ion engine would have been used in the case of a miss to hit Didymos 2 years from now for a second attempt!

It seems to me that fragments of Didymos's surface are a bit like Helene's surface - I see there a kind of fragmentary "surface crust" (???)
