Is this an anomaly on the asteroid EROS?

Looks like the front end is out of alignment. Better take it into the shop.

Edited to add the original GIF animation, as the video appears to have too much contrast and is blurred.

Add some Star Wars music to it and it's ready for YouTube.

sure looks man-made, you said we have landed on it, so could it be something we have landed on it?

I did by 500% yet it still stands out like a sore thumb.

I told you to zoom in because that way you could see that the object is not rectangular, that's the result of too much contrast for the photo in the OP, the less bright pixels were change to white, so things look more square in that photo than in the original.

Granted, that may not be unusual but that image you posted appears to be bathed in some kind of soft light. Is this a filter?

No filter, that's how most images from space probes look.

Although most people think an image with high contrast is better, the fact is that high contrast images have less information that low contrast images. Also, the original image is a 12 bits per pixel image, so it has more detail than a JPEG or GIF.

Did you get the image from PDS?

a reply to: Phage

Probably, it was 5 years ago, I don't remember.

The only thing I know is that they were fits files that I had to convert with FITS LIberator.

They did land a probe on EROS, and left it there...

The image I posted is from the same source but is from the TIFF version (uncompressed) of the image. I zoomed it using a pixel resize which does not interpolate (invent information). The straight edges are the result of the low resolution (4 meters) of the original image.

It is brightly reflective like many other boulders on the asteroid.

Thanks Phage.
For me, the last one looked interesting.

COuld be space junk but I think looks like a roof and a tube or walk way.

The probe you mentioned is on another spot. Check those secure team vid from yesterday:::

Very awesome find. I use awesome here in the literal sense of being in awe.

interesting fidn , and yes right angles do exist in nature google
pyrite , or pyroxite , or pyrite cubes

natural minerals etc form cubes from crystal lattice structures

I have never seen a 45 metre long crystal! The size of the anomalous object makes your comment totally irrelevant.

That's not an asteroid, it's a Giant Space Boot.

Eye of the beholder...

Clearly , Eros resembles a giant potato. Its where earth potatoes come from.

a reply to: micpsi

So because you havent seen them they dont exist right ?

In our own planet there are chambers with quartz crystals bigger than double decker buses

It doesn't make it irrelevant you said you didn't think they existed in nature and I gave you evidence they did.

Why dont you google largest quartz crystal in world, or something like that , largest pyrite cube
some of these crystal formations are larger than you mention, and crystals can form right angles, sharp edges etc
and can look man made.


You made no mention of their size in nature , you just said you didnt think they existed.

It is not an anomaly, it is our flying car!

This asteroid is about the same size of the Mars' moon Phobos which also shows signs of intelligent action.

Science won't admit it, but Phobos and its smaller companion are captured asteroids. Science will say that cannot be because of the required physics doesn't work to make such captures. What they don't want to contend with is that those bodies were moved by intelligent manipulation into their fine, little orbits.

I looked up Deimos and Phobos on Wikipedia, and sure enough both are described as having nearly circular orbits, right over Mars' equatorial region. You'd expect an accidental capture to result in a highly eccentric obit, at some random angle. In terms of size & composition, both satellites are a perfect match for asteroids, so they almost certainly are captured asteroids, but their nice perfect orbits might almost be better explained by deliberate action

saw this on secure team 10 lol
