Soooo! This weekend, #NASA's #OSIRISREx mission is returning to Earth with a scoop of material from asteroid Bennu! This will allow the first comparative study of asteroids, as the NASA and #JAXA Hayabusa2 teams are combining studies. Comparing with a 2nd sample is like... GOLD for theories of planet formation!
Annnnnnnd if you want to see an asteroid sample up close n' personal, the first international public exhibits of asteroid Ryugu grains have begun!
