A team of planetary scientists at Universidad de Alicante, in Spain, has found that the asteroid Didymos may be spinning so fast that it is flinging off rubble from near its equator. In their paper published in the journal Icarus, the group describes their study of the asteroid and explain why its behavior may have an impact on the way that other space objects are studied.
