"NASA has taken a breathtaking new image of near-Earth asteroid Bennu,
captured by its OSIRIS-REx spacecraft from its new, second orbit of the
extraterrestrial object. The new picture, snapped on June 13, provides a
pretty much full-length view of Bennu, with half of its surface lit by
the sun and the other half in near-complete shadow."
