But wait, that would be called a globe.....
Yes! We'll call it The Sonhouse Effect!

I'm flattered🙂

Isn't it amazing, you put stuff together in little blobs and it grows into a sphere more or less, when it gets to a certain mass. Asteroids like the one Rosetta landed on (It's probe to be exact) is like two Mt Everests banging together and they look more like two turds at 90 degree angles, not enough gravity to force them into a sphere or even close.

If you were standing on that asteroid you would weigh about as much as a piece of paper so the main thing you would be worried about is staying on the ground, even a foot flex would put you in orbit or escape velocity!
