Sorry if that is a dupe, but there are some pretty cool pictures in that story.

Greetings asteroid!

I can't fault your taste in great shots! but you can find more if you get closer to the source at NASA's Photojournal (http://photojournal.jpl.nasa.gov/). That one is here: http://photojournal.jpl.nasa.gov/catalog/PIA08391. It was taken on 28 Apr 2006.

Thumbnailing/URLing is a great way to save the planet - those image servers eat and drink fossil fuels!

Spiff.
