It entered orbit on Monday around Bennu, the smallest celestial body ever to be orbited by a spacecraft, at just 500 metres across, barely a mile above the asteroid’s surface, another record. https://www.theguardian.com/science/2019/jan/01/space-probe-osiris-rex-makes-closest-ever-orbit-around-smallest-object 70 comments 1/1/2019 space
