Asteroid 10537 (1991 RY16) is a rarity. It is composed of basaltic rock (i.e. rock that cooled quickly after formation from a molten state) and appears to have evolved independently from the large asteroid Vesta. Vesta suffered a huge impact billions of years ago, and the debris from this collision litters the inner asteroid belt. These "Vestoids" make up the majority of the basaltic asteroids apart from three known isolated bodies including asteroid 1991 RY16. Scientists are therefore very interested to understand the evolution of 1991 RY16, possibly helping us understand the formation of the Solar System and why there aren't more basaltic asteroids out there… (...)
