00:00Have you ever wondered what an asteroid looks like up close?

00:03Well, scientists just captured one of the clearest images of Ryugu,

00:07a massive asteroid floating through the darkness of space.

00:11But it's not the asteroid that's creeping people out.

00:15Sure, the rocky surface is fascinating for geologists,

00:19but there's something else about this image that has everyone talking.

00:22The darkness.

00:23That vast, endless, pitch-black void surrounding the asteroid.

00:27It's giving people chills.

00:30One person said,

00:31the black is more interesting than the rocks.

00:33It's eternal, endless darkness.

00:35And they're not wrong.

00:37Imagine floating out there, in the cold emptiness,

00:40with nothing but the asteroid and this eerie silence.

00:44Even astronauts, like Michael Collins on Apollo 11,

00:47experienced the overwhelming isolation of space.

00:51Collins, for 48 minutes, became the most alone human in the universe

00:55as he circled the far side of the moon, surrounded by nothing but darkness.

01:00It's not just the asteroid that fascinates us.

01:03It's the haunting reminder of just how vast and empty our universe really is.

01:09And maybe that's what makes this image so unforgettable.

01:13What do you think?

01:14Is the asteroid more fascinating?

01:16Or is it the darkness that surrounds it?
