We’ve now been able to see asteroid Bennu from all sides! The @OSIRISREx PolyCam camera captured an image of every 10 degrees of Bennu’s rotation over a four-hour-and-11-minute period on Nov. 2. These images were taken at about 122 miles from the spacecraft. pic.twitter.com/BYxmm6nVeb

I’m tellin’ ya:

re: #18 Big Beautiful Door

Cool! That one boulder toward the bottom of the asteroid looks like it could just fall right off.

Bennu spins pretty fast—about 4 hours—so the centrifugal force plus the weak gravity makes the equator seriously downhill. I can’t explain the points, though—Itokawa’s the same way.
