Actual statement is this and was based on radar images.
"The animation reveals a number of puzzling structures on the surface that we don't yet understand. To date, we've seen less than one half of the surface, so we expect more surprises,'' said radar astronomer Lance Benner, the lead scientist on the project.

In science the term "structure" is applied to any type of formation.


NASA blasted the asteroid with microwaves from a radio telescope near Barstow, using the 230-foot-wide aluminum dish to receive signals bouncing off the asteroid. That data revealed its ridges, craters and boulders and provided enough information about its speed, trajectory and physical characteristics to allow JPL officials to plot its course for the next 64 years.

I'm pretty sure this is what was meant by Structures, good post Phage.

Yes the word structure does cause one to think as a non natural formation. I think it has to do with education (or lack there of) I for one am a high school drop out (though went to college for classes to help me get a job in a field that I still can't get hired in ) and after 7 years paid the loans off.

However, after looking into Google for uses for the word "structure" and seeing a lot of the links about grammatical structure; I soon realized that it could mean multiple things depending on usage. From there I surmised that in Science in general probably have a different use for it.

But, oh the speculation! Makes my imagination run wild- then I get shot down with these people using logic and rational thinking

Thanks for posting this information here anyways, it was interesting!
