Re: Serious Question
Care to explain how much gravity that 500m diameter accretion of dust and mystery is generating,
10 micro-Gs according to Wikipedia's physical characteristics panel on Bennu. It also has density and mass values.
and how much effect that will be having at 7 kilometers distance ?
Not much. Wellyboot already provided the reference showing Osiris is in orbit around Bennu, but there are times where the various asteroid and comet chasing probes aren't so much "orbiting the object" as "strolling around the sun beside it." Hayabusa hovered beside Itokawa for a while, and Rosetta hovered off 67P/Churyumov–Gerasimenko before some of its orbital operations.
