Abstract: A summary is presented of an article published online at http://dx.doi.org/10.1126/science.aaw0422 concerning the asteroid 162173 Ryugu which is being studied by the Hayabusa2 space probe. It states surface colors, thermal properties, and geomorphological features of the asteroid were examined to determine how the asteroid formed. It comments that remote sensing data suggests there was parent-body partial dehydration as a result of internal heating and helps determine where the asteroid formed.
