CNN Headline News showed a radar image of the asteroid that flew by the
Earth on December 8. The commentator said that the image had 100 times better
resolution than any previously taken of an Earth-approaching asteroid (it's
still not as good as the Galileo images of Gaspra).

The asteroid appears to be very rough, and is composed of two large chunks
(possibly held together by gravity).
