“The Missing Craters of Asteroid Itokawa” is copyrighted by ISAS, JAXA. NASA has permission to show it and we don't, so it isn't on this card.
See it on NASA's siteAsteroid Itokawa, photographed by the Hayabusa probe, has a surface unlike any other Solar System body: it seems to lack craters. One idea is that Itokawa is a rubble pile, a loose collection of rocks and ice held by weak gravity. If so, impacts might not form lasting craters, but instead rearrange the surface material.
