JB in Nice in 2025. He is holding a case in the shape of the asteroid (25143) Itokawa (a.k.a., 1998 SF36), target of the JAXA Hayabusa mission, made by Dr. Raphael Marschall. The solar phase angle is nearly 90 deg. The beautiful white building behind is "Coupole Charlois", which was designed by Gustave Eiffel.
