Šteins

Šteins — asteroid, explore its interactive 3D model in Cosmoscope.

Explore Šteins in a live 3D Solar System. Follow its calculated motion and inspect real astronomical data, distances and orbital facts.

A small asteroid encountered by Rosetta in September 2008. Explore the mission-derived shape with its large depressions and irregular outline. The neutral material is illustrative; no global photographic map is applied.

Explore Šteins in 3D

Cosmoscope places Šteins in the Solar System using astronomical ephemeris or orbital elements, updated for the simulation time. Explore its calculated motion, distance and orbital facts in the interactive 3D view. Accuracy depends on the orbital model and its valid time range.
