The Map Of Eros Credit: NEAR Project, JHU APL, NASA. Explanation: This map of Eros was constructed from a mosaic of images recorded by the NEAR Shoemaker spacecraft, currently orbiting the 40 x 14 x 14 kilometer asteroid. A simple cylindrical projection of …

NEAR team members use this information to build detailed models of Eros' shape, which in turn help them understand the asteroid's collisional evolution and internal structure. The shape of Eros also provides a context for interpreting images and compositional information.

Feb 17, 2001 · This simple cylindrical projection of an image mosaic of asteroid Eros is labeled with proposed names for most of the larger features on the asteroid. The theme of the names is famous lovers from history and fiction, taken from different cultures.

Feb 14, 2022 · Simple cylindrical projection of an image mosaic of Eros is labeled with proposed names for most of the larger features on the asteroid.

This image is a shaded relief map of asteroid Eros in simple cylindrical projection. It was created from laser altimetry data. The feature names are IAU approved.

This image is a shaded relief map of asteroid Eros in simple cylindrical projection. It was created from laser altimetry data. The feature names are IAU approved. North latitude is at the top with zero longitude at the left edge.

A simple cylindrical projection of an irregularly shaped world, the map's individual images don't always match up at the edges. Shown here, place names have been proposed to describe the geography of Eros with a fitting theme, though. They are based on romantic figures in the history and literature of the cultures of planet Earth.
