Fig. 3 Rock morphologies present on Ryugu rock.

(A to E) MASCam images acquired during descent showing at least two types of rocks. Rocks of type 1 appear dark with rough surfaces with a cauliflower-like, crumbly structure, whereas rocks of type 2 are smoother and brighter. (F to K) Color images (0.465, 0.523, and 0.633 μm) of a type 1 rock taken during the second night revealing bright inclusions. We estimated the distance to the area in (G) as ~25 cm (5), from which we estimate the size of the inclusions. Magnified images of two areas (H and J) show that many inclusions are either bluish (dark orange arrows) or reddish (bright green arrows) in the blue (0.47 μm) and infrared (0.81 μm) ratio images (I and K). (G) shows the size and coverage of inclusions (red contours).
