Hayabusa2 Ascends from Asteroid Ryugu
Japan's Hayabusa2 spacecraft is seen here ascending from a touchdown rehearsal on asteroid Ryugu. Ryugu's surface is covered in boulders, making it a challenge to find a flat landing spot for the bus-sized probe. Hayabusa2's shadow is visible on the rugged asteroid, which is about a kilometer wide.
