	rubble-pile asteroid
		As a result, if an asteroid were to be smashed into pieces by a collision with another asteroid, it would be more likely to reassemble itself into a loose collection of fragments — a so-called rubble pile — than to dissipate.
		If asteroids are rubble piles not easily shattered during collisions, however, then the number of families seen today may not be much different than what existed early on.
		We are probably seeing all the asteroid families that have ever been in the asteroid belt.

		Pulcova is 137 km in diameter, and is a C-type asteroid (additional info and facts about C-type asteroid), which means that it is dark in colouring with a carbonate (A salt or ester of carbonic acid (containing the anion CO3)) composition.
		Its density appears to be unusually low, indicating that it may be a loosely-packed rubble pile, not a monolithic object.
		It was one of the first asteroid moons (additional info and facts about asteroid moons) to be identified.

	New Scientist SPACE - Breaking News - Jupiter's innermost moon just a pile of rubble
		Jupiter's innermost moon Amalthea is a mass of icy rubble that could not have formed as close to the planet as its present orbit.
		A new analysis does not pinpoint its true origin, but does indicate that the porous hunk of ice and rock is near its maximum possible size.
		But John Anderson of the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, in California, US, is convinced that Amalthea is a rubble pile with voids between chunks of ice and rock.

		Summary - (Jun 1, 2005) By studying data gathered by NASA's Galileo spacecraft, researchers have come to the conclusion that Amalthea, one of Jupiter's moons, is probably just a jumble of icy rubble, held together by gravity.
		Scientists originally believed it was made of rock, but Galileo helped to discover that its density is actually lower than water.
		Scientists studying data from NASA's Galileo spacecraft have found that Jupiter's moon Amalthea is a pile of icy rubble less dense than water.

		The evening before, neighborhood people and homeless people with their carts alike would converge on the area and pick from the piles of stuff others had tossed out, and my neighbors and I would set out our own unwanted stuff.
		There was a certain amount of picking over, but I don't remember piles getting spread around a lot or anything.

		The density estimate, obtained from Galileo's flyby, extends an emerging pattern of finding irregularly shaped moons and asteroids to be porous rubble piles.
		What's more of a surprise, the scientists said, is the density estimate is so low that even the solid parts of Amalthea are apparently less dense than Io, a larger moon that orbits about twice as far from Jupiter.

	SPACE.com -- Asteroid Eros: Most Detailed Analysis of Up-Close Images
		Figuring out how asteroids are structured has potentially pragmatic uses: Properly destroying or deflecting an incoming space rock, were one ever determined to be headed our way, would require knowledge of the asteroid's composition and how well it is bound together.
		A solid core indicates that an asteroid has never been entirely broken up by a collision, which means that its core, at least, has been around since the early days of the solar system's formation.
		These grooves appear to be created by cracks in solid material deeper within the asteroid, and also show signs of collapsed edges that leave piles of rubble within the grooves.

		The continuation of this involves a major change in the equation of state to treat the accumulation as one of rubble piles.
		Recent observational evidence and supporting theoretical calculations suggest that many if not most asteroids and comets in the Solar System between 1 and 100 km in size may be fragile "rubble piles" held together only by gravity.
		As part of this proposal, the results from these collision experiments (and others to be performed concurrently) will be incorporated into the code to provide a self-consistent model of accretion and erosion during the planet formation process.
