Great movie, love the skid marks, looks like it had an incident some time ago. Thanks for the link.

It's certainly an interesting object, and what a great video. I really look forward to the colour images of Vesta, the old HST images shows it as being somewhat reddish with some brighter bluish spots here and there.
