“Smooth Sections 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 is not a solid rock, but a loose pile of rubble. The Japanese Hayabusa spacecraft documented its unusual structure and mysterious lack of craters. Scientists are still trying to understand why parts of its surface are so smooth, possibly due to jostling that sorts the asteroid's material.
