These double-lobed asteroids always look so cool. Like, not that long ago if this image was in a science fiction movie I would have said ehhhh unlikely but here we are looking at them
Yeah, I feel the same way. Atari, Star Wars and Star Trek kind of ruined several generations with ideas of smooth shaped asteroids with rounded impact craters.
Yeah it’s funny how many of these there are now that we’re able to look at smallish objects.
