Asteroids

 

Asteroids are small rocks (also called "minor planets") orbiting the Sun. I have interest in asteroids evolution in time: asteroids collide with each other and crush on planets, their rotation period is being changed by sunlight alone and they get disrupted to become binary objects or separated pairs – asteroids are full with excitement!
