The actual model file, as it will be printed. Drag to turn it.
Eros is a 34-kilometre potato that crosses the orbit of Mars. NEAR Shoemaker orbited it through 2000 and then, at the end of the mission and with no landing gear, was set down gently on the surface anyway — the first time anything had touched an asteroid.
