The subject, an asteroid-like Space-Settlement, was formed naturally by micro crystal on the microscope glass slide. The photomicrograph was taken using a transmitted light microscopy (4X objective Lens) and digital camera.

Wikipedia: A space habitat (also called a space settlement, space colony, space city, orbital habitat) is a more advanced form of living quarters than a space station or habitation module, in that it is intended as a permanent settlement or green habitat rather than as a simple specialized facility. No space habitat has been constructed yet, but many design concepts. The term space habitat sometimes includes more broadly habitats built on or in a body other than Earth—such as the Moon, Mars or an asteroid.

An asteroid is a minor planet—an object that is neither a planet nor a comet. They are rocky, metallic or icy bodies with no atmosphere. Sizes and shapes of asteroids vary significantly, ranging from 1-meter rocks to a dwarf planet almost 1000 km in diameter. Asteroids are generally classified to be of three types: C-type, M-type, and S-type.
