Pole‐on silhouette of Eros, based on a model in which radar data were fitted to a reference ellipsoid using 508 triangular facets defined by 256 vertices (Mitchell et al. 1998). The silhouette is viewed from the asteroid’s south pole. Center of figure, center of rotation, and rotation direction are defined as in Fig. 1. The body is tapered along its length, with a smooth convex side on the right and one or more concavities on the left, making it look something like a kidney bean. Resolution does not permit interpretation of the concavities on the left side (i.e., whether they are craters, troughs, or bends in Eros’s shape).
