  Lutetia: A glance at an alien world

  On Saturday, 10. July, 2010, ESA's spacecraft Rosetta flew by the asteroid Lutetia. The camera system OSIRIS took this image. It shows, that the asteroid's surface is covered with craters. In some places, parallel furrows can be discerned.

  Lutetia's morphology

  On Saturday, 10. July, 2010, ESA's spacecraft Rosetta flew by the asteroid Lutetia. The camera system OSIRIS took this image. In a paper published in Science Magazine on 28. October, 2011, the MPS researchers were able to identify seven regions due to their morphological properties.

  A detailed look at Lutetia

  A) This image was taken during the flyby in July 2010. B) A crater with a diameter of 21 kilometers in the Baetica region. The arrows a, b, and c point to landslides. C) The arrow shows the easily discernable border between the Baetica region and the Noricum region. The arrows b and c point to furrow-like structures. D) The arrows point to further furrows.
