Original101955 Bennu, photographed by the OSIRIS-REx mission.
Reason
Fun fact: My father worked on the camera that took this image. It's not the highest resolution, but it's pretty near to one pixel per foot, so it's pretty good. File:Asteroid-Bennu-OSIRIS-RExArrival-GifAnimation-20181203.gif is probably the second-best image for it.

In what way? Mattximus (talk) 23:02, 14 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@Mattximus: If there were stars or the like behind it it wouldn't show. In any case, there's some variance in the black, so this would be easier in Photoshop, which has some smart background tools. Adam Cuerden (talk)Has about 6.5% of all FPs 00:47, 15 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I don't think the stars would be visible with this exposure. Regards, Yann (talk) 08:58, 15 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
