Itokawa Asteroid

2011
Itokawa (25143) is a near-Earth stony (S-type) asteroid. This object has been the first asteroidal target for a sample return mission, the JAXA Hayabusa mission. Itokawa is likely a contact binary. It is small (major axes 530 m, 290 m, and 210 m) and has a rotation period of about 12.13 h.

Cratering on Asteroids

, 2015
Impact craters are a ubiquitous feature of asteroid surfaces. On a local scale, small craters puncture the surface in a way similar to that observed on terrestrial planets and the Moon.

An Asteroid on the Brink

Icarus, 1995
Abstract Asteroid 2953 Vysheslavia, a Koronis family member about 15 km in diameter, very close to the outer edge of the 5/2 Kirkwood gap, has been shown by numerical integrations to fall into the resonance; then it approaches Jupiter and ends up into a hyperbolic orbit. The typical dynamical lifetime is of the order of 10 Myr.

Asteroid hyalosis

Vestnik oftal'mologii, 2019
The article analyzes existing information on clinical and experimental studies of vitreous changes in asteroid hyalosis, historical aspects of how this condition was studied over the past hundred years, its occurrence and pathogenesis. Results of various studies were used to evaluate current understanding of the forms and elemental composition of ...

An Overview of the Asteroids:

2002
"We are now on the threshold of a new era of asteroid studies," wrote Tom Gehrels in 1971 (Gehrels, 1971). These words proved quite prophetic for the three decades of physical observations and theoretical understanding that followed. As the third century of asteroid research has begun in 2001, we can once again picture ourselves standing on a new ...

Asteroids in the blood

Gut, 2010
During transarterial embolisation of a patient with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), a medical student learnt during his bedside teaching lesson that haematogenous metastasis may occur in cases with HCC. After this interventional procedure the medical student saw the catheter that had been used. This prompted him to use microscopy to analyse a …
