2867 �teins

Caption NASA:"Cruising though space, sometimes you'll come across an unusual object. Such was the case on Friday for ESA's Rosetta Spacecraft on it's way to comet Churyumov-Gerasimenko. Robotic Rosetta buzzed right by the main belt asteroid 2867 �teins, taking many pictures, some of which have been compiled into a short video.
At first glance, Steins looked like a 5-Km wide diamond, but as Rosetta shot by, craters and a more extended shape become evident. In the above sequence of 6 images, a notable chain of craters is evident vertically on the Asteroid's Surface, most probably caused by a chance collision with a stream of meteors. Space scientists will now study the data taken by Rosetta of asteroid Steins in an effort to better understand its composition, origin, and why the asteroid reflects light so well.
As the Earth-bound scientists toil, Rosetta itself will continue to zoom across our Solar System, next swooping again by the Earth in 2009 November, flying by asteroid 21 Lutetia in July 2010, and finally landing on Comet Churyumov-Gerasimenko in November 2014".

Nota Lunexit: un nuovo (ed eclatante) esempio di Asteroide il quale ci mostra, fra le diverse Surface Features che ne caratterizzano le fattezze, un gigantesco cratere (da impatto?!?) il quale - nonostante le usuali spiegazioni degli Scienziati Planetari NASA ed ESA - non potrebbe (n� dovrebbe) esistere.

Altri tre esempi di piccoli asteroidi che presentano un inspiegabile (per dimensioni e fattezze) "Mega-Cratere" sulla loro superficie: Annefrank; Mathilde e Dactyl (senza dimenticare Phobos, come ovvio, anche se Phobos - tecnicamente - non � un asteroide. O almeno: non lo � pi�...).
