The relatively low speed — between 6 and 7 meters per second — suggests the process must have taken place over thousands or even hundreds of thousands of years before the asteroid was formed, when a gravitationally stable cloud of debris spun in the disk of material that would go on to build the solar system.
The mountains likely formed no more than 100 million years ago — mere youngsters relative to the 4.56 - billion - year age of the solar system — and may still be in the process of building, says Geology, Geophysics and Imaging (GGI) team leader Jeff Moore of NASA's Ames Research Center in Moffett Field, California..
