Japan’s Hayabusa2 spacecraft grabs close-up thirty feet above asteroid

The Japanese space agency, JAXA, has been circling the asteroid Ryugu with its spacecraft Hayabusa2 for almost a year now and the agency has even successfully shot a cannonball at the space rock. That shot kicked up debris which Hayabusa2 successfully collected in February but the agency wanted to go again — and collect debris from further inside Ryugu. We’ve seen some fantastic images from the surface of Ryugu during Hayabusa2’s mission.
