Form Of Planet Like Flashlight In Shape Eros
The tiny planet Eros is described as a long cylinder or possible dumbbell shape, with an estimated length of 25 to 2 miles and breadth around 8 miles. Harvard observations hint at a 24 hour rotation with end-on and full-face orientations, while the idea of fission or being a fragment from Mars-Jupiter debris explains the irregular form. The report notes light reflections reveal its orientation and speed, plus a Chinese plan for twelve national arterial highways is under consideration.
