It's been a good week in the asteroid field. Launched nearly four years ago, the Dawn probe has finally parked itself off Vesta, and is sending back spectacularly detailed photos. After studying that asteroid for about a year, Dawn will head off toward the dwarf planet Ceres. Expect to see photos of it in 2015, assuming NASA's still in business.

Best headline for this story.

Interesting. I just revisited Google News on this story, and lots more headlines now read "First Trojan" as opposed to this morning's "First Asteroid Companion." I didn't check how many mention Cruithne, but it's clear the initial reporting got some nerd feedback.
