Someone should write a pair of science fiction novels that touch on contact binaries 624 Hektor / Skamandrios and 617 Patroclus / Menoetius. No, seriously, I mean, someone REALLY should get back to books 3 and 4. And yet ... time to punch in to work.https://twitter.com/coreyspowell/status/1082929980760305664 …

Certainly MU69 is the most pristine contact binary yet visited, but Comet 67P is a likely contact binary. So is asteroid Itokawa, which was visited by Hayabusa in 2005. The abundance of such objects is part of what makes them so noteworthy. https://www.eso.org/public/images/eso1405a/ …
