Oblique View of Eros' Crater Target Name:   Asteroid Eros Spacecraft:   NEAR Produced by:   NASA/JHU-APL Copyright:  NASA Copyright Free Policy Date Released:  9 March 2000 Related Document Asteroid 433 Eros Download Options Name Type Width x Height Size eros30.jpg JPEG 401 x 401 17K eros30.tif TIFF 401 x 401 109K This image, showing an oblique view of Eros' large central crater, was taken at a resolution of about 20 meters (65 feet) per pixel. The brightness or albedo patterns on the walls of this crater are clearly visible, with the brighter materials near the tops of the walls and darker materials on the lower walls. Boulders are seen inside this crater and the smaller nearby craters. The higher density of craters to the left of the large crater implies that this region is older than the smoother area seen associated with the saddle region on the opposite side of the asteroid.
