Fair use
This image qualifies for fair use in the articles 22 Kalliope, Linus (moon), and List of Solar System objects by size since:
 * 1) Illustrates the significance of the lowest numbered asteroid known to be binary.
 * 2) No freely available alternative to this unique image since Adaptive optics are beyond the means of most telescopes, and thus not easily reproducible.
 * 3) Does not make the work as a whole less valuable to the copyright holder since the image was created for scientific purposes.
