Because boulders on Eros are apparently eroding in place and because ponds with associated boulders tend to be larger than ponds without
The magnetometer investigation aboard the NEAR-Shoemaker spacecraft has obtained extensive magnetic field observations throughout the 433 Eros environment, from distances in excess of 100,000 km to those conducted after landing on 12 February 2001. We report the apparent absence of global scale magn
