What is so great about the Hayabusa2 mission to Ryugu? Our Director General at ISAS, Hitoshi Kuninaka, talks to @exploreplanets about the asteroid explorer, along with Hansjörg Dittus from DLR on our @MASCOT2018 lander! planetary.org/multimedia/pla…

Wow! Close approach to Earth... And, speaking of asteroids, our lander @MASCOT2018 on board @haya2e_jaxa is on its way to #asteroid Ryugu, where it will land in October 2018 and investigate! Stay tuned! #asteroidlanding xitter.cf/NBObservatories/status…
Apollo type PHA Phaethon. Diameter 5.1 km. Currently very bright at mag. +11. Close approach is today at a distance of 0.07 AU. The closest since it was discovered
