Eti izobrazheniya, poluchennye 19 iyulya (sleva) i 24 iyulya (sprava) udivitel'no detal'no pokazyvayut ispeshrennuyu kraterami poverhnost' etogo kroshechnogo mira, pozvolyaya uvidet' elementy razmerom do 19 futov (6 metrov). Issledovanie poverhnosti Erosa v rentgenovskom i gamma-diapazone pozvolyaet schitat' ego drevnim pervichnym asteroidom, sohranivshimsya so vremen formirovaniya Solnechnoi sistemy. Na fotografii sleva vidno, chto ego poverhnostnyi sloi ili regolit, sostoit iz yarkih i temnyh uchastkov. Kartinka zhe, raspolozhennaya sprava pokazyvaet, chto temnyi regolit, zapolnyaet donnye oblasti nekotoryh kraterov. Levaya i pravaya fotografii ohvatyvayut oblasti shirinoi priblizitel'no 2600 i 3000 futov (800 i 900 metrov) sootvetstvenno. 31 iyulya NEAR Shoemaker, vernulsya na svoyu prezhnyuyu orbitu radiusom 31 milya (50 kilometrov), prodolzhaya netoroplivo obrashat'sya vokrug Erosa so skorost'yu priblizitel'no 6 mil' v chas.
