Wait, what? |
This is extremely cool- a close up virtual tour of asteroid Bennu, a rocky conglomerate body. This is made possible by close up imaging by Nasa's Osiris Rex satellite giving amazing detail. To me, it's as amazing as the footage from years of research on Mars. The tour neatly displays the process of accretion in the formation of objects in space from leftover debris left behind by supernovae long ago. The same processes that formed the rocky inner planets but on a much smaller scale. https://youtu.be/QunVAWABQSc “Remember to get vaccinated or a vaccinated person might get sick from a virus they got vaccinated against because you’re not vaccinated.” - author unknown | ||

That was very cool. It amazes me what NASA is capable of doing. Money well spent in my opinion. Jim ________________________ "If you can't be a good example, then you'll have to be a horrible warning" -Catherine Aird | |||

More information on Bennu. Bob Zimmerman's website Behind the Black contains pics of the asteroid. He's a frequent guest on the John Bachelor podcast. https://audioboom.com/posts/77...n-behindtheblack-com _______________________________________ NRA Life Member Member Isaac Walton League I wouldn't let anyone do to me what I've done to myself | |||
