Cool!
I wouldn't mind seeing a scale version, though - it would be interesting to see the relative sizes. |

Cool! Do a scale chart!
Here are some I found on the internet. |

Did I forget something? Probably be useful to put the long-axis dimensions in km for each on the pic, and the closeup-image of Dactyl.. good job! |

And for one of these asteroids... here's a shaded relief map of Eros which I have just put together from the NEAR laser ranging instrument dataset... in cylindrical projection. This particular processing version has the effect of flattening the largest craters, so I'll work on that.

(PS - edit a few hours later - I have fixed the map and changed the old one for the improved version, so this one is OK) -------------------- ... because the Solar System ain't gonna map itself.

I am really stretching my memory here, but it seems I read (maybe 20 years ago) that Vega 1 (or was it 2?) might have an asteroid encounter after the Halley's Comet encounter.
Aphoris? Adonis? Arachnis? (heck to get old!) Did it ever happen? Did the probes get shutdown before it happened? btw, is Giotto still working? |

Aphoris? Adonis? Arachnis? (heck to get old!) Did it ever happen? Did the probes get shutdown before it happened? btw, is Giotto still working? To quote: "Since both VEGA craft were still functioning after their Halley encounters, Soviet scientists considered an option to send the probes to other celestial objects. One prime target was the near- Earth planetoid 2101 Adonis, which VEGA 2 could pass at a distance of six million kilometers (3.6 million miles). Sadly, the Soviets had to back out on the opportunity to become the first nation to fly a spacecraft past a planetoid when it was discovered that there was not enough maneuvering fuel in the probe to reach Adonis as planned. VEGA 1 and 2 were quietly shut down in early 1987." The source: ftp://ftp.seds.org/pub/info/newsletters/e...93/jasa9304.txt I believe Giotto is in hibernation mode. It may be awoken again at some point. It will make a close flyby of Earth in 2016. -------------------- "After having some business dealings with men, I am occasionally chagrined,
and feel as if I had done some wrong, and it is hard to forget the ugly circumstance. I see that such intercourse long continued would make one thoroughly prosaic, hard, and coarse. But the longest intercourse with Nature, though in her rudest moods, does not thus harden and make coarse. A hard, sensible man whom we liken to a rock is indeed much harder than a rock. From hard, coarse, insensible men with whom I have no sympathy, I go to commune with the rocks, whose hearts are comparatively soft." - Henry David Thoreau, November 15, 1853 |

Thanx for the update.

btw:
Appreciate all the nice asteroid pictures! I don't recall seeing any asteroids in any movie (sorry Mr. Lucas) that look like those. Anyone recall a film with great looking rocks? |
