NASA's NEAR Shoemaker (Near Earth Asteroid Rendezvous) spacecraft captured this high-resolution footage of 433 Eros in 2000, marking the first time a spacecraft ever orbited an asteroid. The mission revealed that the "potato-shaped" Eros is a solid, primitive object approximately 33 kilometers (21 miles) long, rather than a loose "rubble pile". Throughout its year-long orbit, the spacecraft mapped the asteroid's surface, which is pockmarked with more than 100,000 craters and scattered with over
