Can't wait to see the images from the trailing LICIACube later! I was hoping they'd be right after these, but it seems like they'll take longer to get here...

They've given LICIACube a lower priority on the DSN network, so it'll be a while before all its images arrive, but when they do, they will be spectacular!
This reminds me so much of when I was one of the volunteers mapping Bennu for the OSIRIS-REx mission. I had the urge to start clicking on all the rocks and boulders in that image.

👍 ! Those last ones are an extra bonus of the suicide mission 😀
I mapped out all the rocks, boulders, and craters in 98 such photos on Bennu, each of which were 22.5x22.5 meters, and I swear I can't tell the difference from these ones! 😂

Yeah, they both look like piles of rubble.
It appears that rocks look the same no matter where you go in the universe.

True, although some are more pleasing to our human eyes 😍
