Asteroids are the building blocks of our solar system, and this asteroid contains the building blocks of life. Our initial analysis of the 4.5-billion-year-old rocks from asteroid Bennu delivered to Earth by #OSIRISREx shows evidence of carbon and water. nasa.gov/news-release/n…

More carbon than expected and an abundance of water were found in the 4.5-billion-year-old asteroid sample returned to Earth by #OSIRISREx. The two combined could mean that the building blocks for life on Earth might be locked in these rocks: go.nasa.gov/45sL5TQ

Here's what happens after launch! An epic thread... Mission To Psyche is ready to go, soon as weather gives us a break! The attempt on Fri. Oct. 13 (my big brother's bday, along w a great friend at SpaceX on Psyche team, so VERY good luck) is 10:19:43 AM East. time. (1/n)

🚀We're just 40 minutes from launch and fueling is underway for the #MissionToPsyche! The SpaceX #FalconHeavy first stage incorporates 27 Merlin engines and aluminum-lithium alloy tanks containing liquid oxygen and rocket-grade kerosene (RP-1) propellant.

Feel the noize! Ain't nothin' but a good time. All aboard the #MissionToPsyche! Next stop: A metal world. 🤘

Will an asteroid ever hit Earth? We know that some asteroids are potentially hazardous to our planet, but how do we predict their movements? Our scientist Helena Bates explains in this #SurprisingScience! 👇

This is why we explore. Turns out that asteroid Dinkinesh is… asteroids Dinkinesh? During the #LucyMission’s first asteroid flyby on Nov. 1, we discovered that the main belt asteroid is a party of two, or binary pair! go.nasa.gov/40pe1eE

Wow! I hadn't seen this before - thermal camera view of the OSIRIS-REx reentry through Earth's atmosphere. Just a single frame from a video. Watch the tail evolve from 11:16 youtu.be/G4PxxX2UURA?si…

Cats in Spaaace! NASA just streamed the first video from deep space via laser, and it’s more than just a cat meme. The tech demo proved it’s possible to stream HD video from deep space – and lays the groundwork for human exploration of Mars. go.nasa.gov/47XDYom

Jack Black's mother, Judith Love Cohen, had a remarkable career as an engineer at NASA. She played a significant role in the development of the Abort-Guidance System, which was instrumental in rescuing the Apollo 13 astronauts during their ill-fated mission in 1970. Judith's

Here's the full video of the asteroid #Sar2736, a ~1 m object that broke up some 50 m west of #Belin, #Germany, and probably dropped some meteorites on the ground. Video credit: iplivecams.com/live-cams/augu…

Reminder that the deadline for applying for PhD projects with NHM Meteorites is the 4th Feb. nhm.ac.uk/our-science/st…
