    Approaching asteroid (21) Lutetia

    Date: 10 Jul 2010
    Satellite: Rosetta
    Depicts: Asteroid (21) Lutetia
    Copyright: ESA 2010 MPS for OSIRIS Team MPS/UPD/LAM/IAA/RSSD/INTA/UPM/DASP/IDA

    These images of Lutetia were taken by the OSIRIS instrument on Rosetta as the spacecraft approached the asteroid.

    The first image was taken at 06:18 (about 9.5 hours before closest approach, 510 000 kms from the asteroid), the last one at 14:15 (about 1.5 hours before closest approach, 81 000 km from the asteroid). The resolution changes from 9.6 km/px to 1.5 km/px.
