"Dinkinesh, a diamond-shaped asteroid in the center, and Selam, a smaller asteroid of two connected rocks on the left, approach, pass across, then depart away from the camera. As they approach, the shape of both asteroids get clearer and the lighting is harsh from the right. As the camera passes across them, Selam moves behind Dinkinesh to the right of it. As they depart, the binary shape of Selam (two connected rocks separated by a black line) is clear, and the lighting comes from the left."
