  1. #PPOD: Taken from just 60 kilometers away by ESA's Hera spacecraft, this image reveals Didymos's rugged surface: a 780-meter-wide asteroid covered in boulders, craters, and intriguing patterns of grooves and ridges. Its smaller companion, the 151-meter-wide Dimorphos, is also in the frame, although most of it is hidden in shadow. This is the side of Didymos opposite the one NASA's DART spacecraft photographed in 2022. Credit: ESA
