Asteroids

This article delves into the fascinating world of asteroids, focusing on how we study them using spacecraft, ground-based and Hubble imaging, and radar techniques. We explore three notable asteroids: 951 Gaspra, 243 Ida, and 253 Mathilde, comparing their sizes and characteristics. In addition, we highlight asteroid 433 Eros through Earth-based optical imaging and provide insights on 4 Vesta and 4179 Toutatis, examining how different methods reveal unique features of these celestial bodies.
