20E-32-A Peanut Shaped Asteroid with a Moon
Published 6 years, 11 months ago
Description
It appears that Hektor and its moon were created by a collision between two icy asteroids early in the 4.5 billion year history of our solar system when things were more chaotic. They happened to land in a gravitational dip which has allowed them to remain relatively undisturbed for billions of years.
