The Northern Hemisphere of Eros
|
Caption NASA originale:"This spectacular view - looking down on the North Polar Region of Asteroid Eros - was constructed from 6 images taken February 29, 2000, from an orbital altitude of about 200 Km (approx. 124 miles). This vantage point highlights the major physiographic features of the Northern Hemisphere: the saddle seen at the bottom; the 5,3-Km diameter crater at the top and a major ridge system running between the two features that spans at least one-third of the asteroid's circumference".
