Great photo...
Again, we are wondering about the surface and subsurface temperatures. With the rate this object is rotating in its BBQ role, why does it not crumble at the surface because of the freeze-thaw cycle, and end up more spherical from gravitational collapse instead of that 'rubber duck' shape? Is this the first time around the sun for the two parent bodies?
Dads Note: Last time the kids asked about this, the response they received was somewhat less that enlightening and was far from polite. Fortunately the moderator deleted it, but not before it was seen. Anyway, if you can enlighten the kids, that would be good and keep them thinking...
