Asteroid Ryugu with north polar boulder

Ryugu imaged from Hayabusa2 on 30 June 2018 from a distance of about 20 km. The large boulder obserbed near the north pole of Ryugu is about the same size as Didymos's moonlet ‘Didymoon’ in its entirety. Didymoon, due to visited by ESA's Hera mission in 2026, is the smallest of all asteroids scheduled for robotic inspection, at just 160 m across.
