NEAR Views the Asteroid Eros (Gravity Slope) (2001)
2001 · Short film · 1 min
Synopsis
Views of the asteroid Eros generated by data from the laser rangefinder. This false color image shows the 'gravity slope' at various regions on the object. The gravity slope is the angle between the local gravitation field (computed assuming a constant density for the asteroid) and the normal to the surface. Blue is low slope, red is high slope. Note: A rotating view of the asteroid Eros, where the colors represent the gravity slope measured by NEAR. This work has been visible on: Computer…
