Fast-spinning asteroid 2025 MN45 rewrites rotation record

TL;DR


Summary:
- This article discusses a fast-spinning asteroid named 2015 MN45, which is breaking records for the fastest known rotation of an asteroid.
- The asteroid completes a full rotation in just under 2 minutes, which is incredibly fast compared to most other asteroids that take several hours or even days to rotate.
- This rapid spin is likely due to the asteroid's small size and elongated shape, which creates a rapid rotational speed to maintain its stability in space.
