Images of Asteroid 21 Lutetia: A Remnant Planetesimal from the Early Solar System
Images obtained by the Optical, Spectroscopic, and Infrared Remote Imaging System (OSIRIS) cameras onboard the Rosetta spacecraft reveal that asteroid 21 Lutetia has a complex geology and one of the highest asteroid densities measured so far, 3.4 ± 0.3 grams per cubic centimeter. The north pole regi...

Its geologically complex surface, ancient surface age, and high density suggest that Lutetia is most likely a primordial planetesimal.
