This
image mosaic of Eros' southern hemisphere, taken by NEAR Shoemaker
on November 30, 2000, offers a long-distance look at the cratered
terrain south of where the spacecraft touched down on February 12,
2001.
In this view, south is to the top and the landing site itself is
just into the shadows, slightly left of center. The length of the
asteroid is 33 km.
