COSMIC MESSAGE
The NEAR spacecraft was on its final approach to asteroid 433 Eros, closing in at about 20 miles per hour. By Valentine's Day, it was set to enter orbit, becoming the first artificial moon of an asteroid. While the asteroid itself isn't heart-shaped, this mission marked a significant step in asteroid exploration.
