After bopping an #asteroid 3ys ago, #NASA will finally see results
The return of the #OSIRISREx sample container on September 24 will cap the primary mission to capture material from an asteroid—in this case, the carbonaceous near-Earth asteroid #Bennu—and return some of its pebbles and dust to Earth. "Every sample here has a story to tell," said Eileen Stansbery, who leads the program. "It is our job to preserve these samples for scientists to use for decades to come."

Imagine shooting a basketball from 63,000 miles away into a 250 square mile net. That’s what our #OSIRISREx mission will be doing with a capsule of precious asteroid material this September.
We challenged the @washwizards to make their own trick shot

Ask a NASA scientist your asteroid questions!
On Sept. 24, 2023, the #OSIRISREx spacecraft will deliver a sample of an asteroid to Earth. Studying this sample could provide insight into the origins of our solar system & life on Earth

Asteroid #wip is coming along, coming along… I suppose the upside of my suddenly-clear social calendar is that I have more painting time?

This #wip is a happy accident, in that I read a submission deadline wrong (read: started it AFTER it was due), but now I think I’m onto something…. 🤔🤔🤔
Also, apparently the reason I’ve felt like shit all week is… c*vid. (First time.) Just in time to cancel two super fun social events! 🙄
