With Rosettahanging out so closely with an asteroid , we ’re getting better view than ever before of what the control surface of an asteroid count like . But compared to one another , how do the surfaces we ’ve impose in our Solar System stack up ?
Here ’s the Rosetta Spacecraft Lining Up Its Asteroid Landing Shot
Fortunately , NASA ’s Jet Propulsion Lab has put together this infographic which exhibit the surfaces of an asteroid , the Moon , Mars , Venus , Titan and Earth next to one another . All views we ’ve seen before , of trend , but it ’s interesting to see the cragged rock of the moon next to Venus ’s comparatively bland surface , say .
But the view of Earth ’s oceans should remind us of one thing : these are diminutive glimpses into large worlds , and each is doubtless as rich and full of character as our own planet . We still have an horrific lot to explore . [ JPLviaRedditviaPeta Pixel ]
