Stereo pair courtesy of Brian May and Claudia Manzonie of a digital simulation image of a mass shedding of Didymos when its rotation speed on itself increases and that centrifugal force becomes dominant. At the end of such a process, a small moon may form itself. In this image, the rotation period is 2.3757 hours and colors represent particle speeds. According to Zhang, Y., Michel, P. et al. (2021, Icarus 362).
