PIA-0700: (700) Bedfordshire, third flyby
Composite of 214 frames acquired at ranges from 1,120 km down to 340 km. Mean diameter 63 km, surface albedo 0.09, rotation period 19.17 h. The six aligned pits on the northern slope were first attributed to outgassing; the mission team now lists them as "morphological, origin unresolved." The two lug-like massifs at the base and the channel structure near the terminator likewise remain unexplained.
