Rover Shadows on Asteroid Ryugu

The below image was taken from just 80 meters (87 yards) above the surface of asteroid Ryugu, by the adorable 7-inch Minerva-II rovers. JAXA also shared images taken by the rovers during the descent in real-time as they came in. 

The two Minerva-II robots are designed to take advantage of the asteroid's low gravity, making long hops across its surface. (via CNET)
