Summary[edit]
| Description |
English: "(a) The asteroid Dimorphos seen at a range of pixel scales. Numerous boulders can be distinguished across the surface in images as coarse as 2–3 m pixel scale. Without the context of higher-resolution images, it would be difficult to definitively identify boulders in the 4-m pixel scale image. Image names (from left to right): dart_0401929985_18096_01_iof.fits, dart_0401929952_31226_01_iof.fits, dart_0401929919_44355_01_iof.fits. (b) Composite image of asteroids Dimorphos and Didymos. Dimorphos is at left; Didymos is at right. The two asteroids and the distance between them are to scale. This image was produced by combining two DRACO images to show Dimorphos at higher resolution than Didymos. In spite of the different resolutions, the two surfaces give different first impressions. Dimorphos has a boulder-rich surface with an ellipsoidal shape. Didymos exhibits boulders but also smoother areas and larger concavities. The north poles of Dimorphos and Didymos point to the top of the figure." |
