TL;DR: In this article, the GIADA (Grain Impact Analyser and Dust Accumulator) experiment on the European Space Agency's Rosetta spacecraft orbiting comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko was used to detect 35 outflowing grains of mass 10−10 to 10−7 kilograms.

TL;DR: The detection of asteroid spin-up supports the YORP effect as an explanation for the anomalous distribution of spin rates for asteroids under 10 kilometers in diameter and as a binary formation mechanism.

TL;DR: Data show that there was new material after impact that was compositionally different from that seen before impact, and the ratio of dust mass to gas mass in the ejecta was much larger than before impact.

TL;DR: In this paper, optical photometric observations of a small near-Earth asteroid, (54509) 2000 PH5, acquired over 4 years were obtained and it was found that the asteroid has been continuously increasing its rotation rate ω over this period by dω/dt = 2.0 (± 0.2) × 10−4 degrees per day squared.

TL;DR: It is reported that pits on comet 67P/Churyumov–Gerasimenko are active, and probably created by a sinkhole process, possibly accompanied by outbursts, and argued that after formation, pits expand slowly in diameter, owing to sublimation-driven retreat of the walls.
