Views of the asteroid Eros generated by data from the laser rangefinder on the NEAR spacecraft. This false color image shows the 'gravity slope' at various regions on the asteroid. The gravity slope is the angle between the local gravitation field (computed assuming a constant density for the asteroid) and the normal to the surface. Blue is low slope, red is high slope.
