SCI NASA Space Probe Close to Astroid Bennu...Photo shows trash left on surface!

You are not going to believe this but a very high resolution photo of something weird on the surface of the Astriod Bennu was just recently taken by the "NASA OSIRIS" space probe.
The space craft is slowly approaching the astroid and will eventually land on its surface, take small sample of dirt/rock and return to earth.


The most unusual thing is the large semi flat piece of surface debris that looks like a large panel off the surface of a space craft (maybe missing "buffer Panel from Serenity ;) )


Check it out for yourself:

Lets figure this out before NASA photoshops the object out!!!

There are more than just the big piece that are interesting, smaller pieces around the horizon...


Was THIS asteroid even VISIBLE from the observation station that they shut down for "porn viewing"?



It's more of a collapsed hollow cylinder...


Hence the above question.

I SAW that, of course. That's how our mind recognizes objects. Doesn't mean it's a real thing. It's like seeing faces in trees or clouds. Yeah, if you look at it sideways and hold your mouth just right it looks like a panel off Amelia Earhart's plane. And if you look at it as something found on an asteroid, it looks like random bits.

Not impressed.

Good eye Don.

Now lets figure out what it is.... guesses anyone?

Either a piece of Vger or a piece of Nomad....

For those that are having trouble seeing it, I've outlined it in yellow below:

Making it da-glo doesn't make it real.

Stop and consider the odds that a random asteroid happens to have a panel from Amelia Earhart's plane, or a missing bulkhead from the Titanic, or a fragment of a fictional spacecraft. Duh.

Thank you Dear Mouse.
I think they said the Astroid is about 4 football fields in diameter.
So this artifact, real or just my imagination (grin) is about what...... 40 to 50 yards square??
We need an engineer!

Defiantly looks like it picked up something in it's travels, I would want to have a closer look or at lest from a different angle.

Jeez bw, your no fun. Lighten up.

That is also the only thing on that rock that is casting a shadow, also the to the left of that piece on the horizon (night driver mentioned) is also casting a shadow but nothing else has a shadow, looks like lots a objects are large enough to cast a shadow. My opinion is that there is a hollow space under the objects in question and since there no light in these spaces it gives the appearance of a shadow. There are a few large rocks at 9 and 12 oclock that do appear to have a shadows but they are some of the largest rock on the viewed side of the asteroid.

Are you sure about that?

What the hell, man? Nobody was giving you a hard time for not seeing what some of us think we see. Why act like we're stupid?

I don't really understand why the possibility of extraterrestrial non-natural objects causes such visceral reactions from some people. If it's artificial, it could be neutral, potentially friendly, or maybe hostile to Earth's interests. Or it could just be an extremely weird rock, that's okay, too. We're just discussing it, and having some fun with it.

Not visceral, more like coolly objective. There are an estimated 150,000,000 asteroids of 100 meters or larger in the inner solar system of this small star in the relatively unfashionable part of the Milky Way galaxy. And the very first one we looked at (does this remind anyone of Steve Martin in The Jerk?) has a panel of an alien spacecraft.

Ok, fine, carry on.

Well, except for bringing things up like Amelia Earhart, or a piece of the Titanic. Or having to insert a "duh" at the end like we were missing the obviousness of it not being anything like that. That's not all that cool, really. Claiming any of us had suggested anything, oh, LOGICALLY IMPOSSIBLE, when we hadn't actually done so, that doesn't seem so objective either. Your intent was to ridicule, and it wasn't necessary. We hadn't even gotten to David Icke and reptilians yet. ;)

Actually, it's not the first asteroid or other extraterrestrial body that we've rendezvoused with. It's not even the first one we've landed on, I think it's the third. Not too bad for some poor schlubs from a small star. As for unfashionable, I like to call it "exclusive".

Seriously, lighten up and try not to rain on the parade, buddy. If we go too far down the woo trail, we always wander back.

Gotta say, it's very cool that it has an elliptical shape. This is how the earth looks, too. The effective weight of anything at the equator must be approaching zero.

I look forward to images from its cross-plane orbits. To me, it's looking more cubical than elliptical. A lot of flat-ish sides on either side of the equator.

The earth is a better ellipse because the earth is fluid. This asteroid is granular, not fluid, so this is as elliptical as it gets. Good illustration of the forces.

Good observation, and perhaps even correct. It sure is one heck of a rubble pile, isn't it?

I'm trying to envision space rocks slowly being pulled in toward this thing. If they hit a moving part near the equator they'd likely be kicked out again to some distance. If they come in near the poles they might stick, or they might start to roll downhill toward the equator. Then they might be thrown out from centrifugal force, possibly to come around again later. Both of those situations should result in reduced rotational momentum.

So maybe what we're looking at here is an accretion disk that's been slowed down by millions of years of impacts. Sort of like a once-fast gyroscope that's been sprayed with silly string. If that's the case, how thick is the agglomeration on top of the primordial asteroid, and what's the best place to dig for the virgin rock? I'm thinking about the 45 degree point.
