How about writing the distance from earth to this asteriod ? Martin A
You could give the distance at a particular time, for example now when the Hayabusa probe is at the asteroid. The point is to give a feel of how far the probe has travelled to get there. Martin A
Badger, you & I've talked about using JAXA images before, but Wikipedia's policies are in flux, so let's see how an image fares now. I liked this photo in particular because it really shows the boulders well.
Everyone else, JAXA releases its images for educational and non-profit use, as long as JAXA is credited, and as long as any people in the photos give their consent. I've linked to the JAXA copyright page from the image page.
I tried putting the image in the table, under the name, but it doesn't look as though the table template is set up for that. kwami 07:35, 19 November 2005 (UTC)
The current version has a picture of the old radar model. Because we have high-resolution optical images of the object, that is redundant and mis-leading. We've been trying to track down the problems with the modeling process, but there is a better radar model from 2004 as well as the 2005-2006 Hayabusa pictures. Someone please put in an image from JAXA. Michaelbusch 14:58, 27 December 2006 (UTC)
There's no mention of why, of all asteroids, this asteroid was chosen for a sampling mission. Morganfitzp ( talk) 23:15, 14 June 2010 (UTC)
With as cheap and lightweight as full color digital cameras are, why are the space agencies still sending out probes that only have monochrome cameras? Even when this probe was launched a fairly decent color digital camera was available for around $200 and only weighed a few ounces. That's a bare bones camera module, not the sort people use to take their vacation snaps. They need to shop more at places like "Spy Gear R Us" instead of putting out every part for bids and getting stuck with ludicrously overpriced, outdated technology.

Hello editors. This article seems to be small enough to hold this in it too. At the moment, I dont see any reason for it being separated. If no one disagrees in a merge, I will carry out the merge soon. Kind regards. Rehman( +) 03:43, 18 June 2010 (UTC)
Why is the Japanese name shown in katakana rather than as 糸川? — Tamfang ( talk) 19:04, 26 September 2010 (UTC)
Would it be a problem to change

Here the albedo is said to be 0.23. Even this is at the upper edge of the range for S-type asteroids (0.11 to 0.22). But 0.53 is a way too big. I must be a mistake. Oleksiy.golubov ( talk) 01:06, 9 June 2014 (UTC)

First sample returned... meriting a Hayabusa 2 (plus OSIRIS-REx)... and WATER... and this is it? Without the tables and graphics the article is ~3x stub length. Anyone who works with meteoriticists can tell you how deep they can go into minutiae... maybe too deep. 96.86.6.181 ( talk) 22:00, 19 January 2019 (UTC)
The lead image, File:Hayabausa Image of the asteroid Itokawa.jpg, is tagged as non-free. On this page, the image credit is given to NASA/JPL. So that would be free, wouldn't it? Rfassbind – talk 16:23, 25 February 2019 (UTC)
"Itokawa is the smallest asteroid ever photographed and visited by a spacecraft."
This may be outdated since December 3, 2018 when OSIRIS-REx arrived at 101955 Bennu. Bennu has a mean radius approx. 50m less than Itokawa.
