Gone are the days when we believed asteroids to be just large rocks hanging out in space. As space exploration has progressed, we have come to note that they are much more complex than that.

A great example of this is the asteroid Didymos, which according to a new study published on Monday, is literally spitting rocks into outer space due to the excessive speeds at which it is spinning.

The researchers described Didymos in their work as an asteroid “on the edge of stability” due to its impressive rotational speeds. The effects of the spin are felt the strongest at the celestial object’s equator.
