Orbit from osculating elements
2867 Šteins is placed by solving a Keplerian orbit at the simulation time (a = 2.4 AU, e = 0.147, i = 9.9°, period 1,330 d).
Small diamond-shaped E-type asteroid imaged by Rosetta in 2008.
One record per aspect. The origin says what kind of thing each value is; the source says where it came from; the limit says what it cannot tell you.

2867 Šteins is identified from the cited source record.
2867 Šteins: mean radius 2.6 km. These values are bundled with the object record and drive the rendered size.
The surface is a procedural shape unless a source record above says otherwise. It is not a measured shape model.
The short description and the fact list are written by the Space Time authors for orientation. They are not quoted from a catalog field and carry no citation of their own.
