Med European Southern Observatory’s Very Large Telescope (ESO’s VLT) har en gruppe astronomer optaget det skarpeste og mest detaljerede billede til dato af asteroiden Kleopatra. Ud fra observationerne har forskerne konstrueret en 3D-model, og beregnet massen for denne specielle asteroide, som ligner et kødben. Forskningsresultatet antyder med større nøjagtighed end tidligere hvordan asteroiden og de to måner, som kredser om den, er dannet.
