Eros Image Mosaic, Looking North Target Name:   Asteroid Eros Spacecraft:   NEAR Produced by:   NASA/JHU-APL Copyright:  NASA Copyright Free Policy Date Taken:   18 February 2000 Date Released:  22 February 2000 Related Document Asteroid 433 Eros Download Options Name Type Width x Height Size eros22.jpg JPEG 666 x 609 19K eros22.tif TIFF 666 x 609 127K This image mosaic of Eros was taken by the NEAR spacecraft on Feb. 18, 2000 from a range of 224 miles (361 kilometers). The smallest detail visible on the surface is about 115 feet (35 meters) across. At the time the spacecraft was over the shadowed southern hemisphere, looking north at a crescent Eros. Although this view of Eros is similar to others that have been returned, the coverage at different illumination and viewing geometries provides important information on the shapes of landforms.
