Launching in late 2021, Lucy will be the first space mission to explore the Trojan asteroids. These are a population of small bodies that are left over from the formation of the solar system. They lead or follow Jupiter in their orbit around the Sun, and may tell us about the origins of organic materials on Earth. Lucy will fly by and carry out remote sensing on six different Trojan asteroids and will study surface geology, surface color and composition, asteroid interiors/bulk properties, and will look at the satellites and rings of the Trojans.

When NASA’s OSIRIS-REx spacecraft arrived at asteroid Bennu in December 2018, its close-up images confirmed what mission planners had predicted nearly two decades before: Bennu is made of loose material weakly clumped together by gravity, and shaped like a spinning top. This major validation, however, was accompanied by a major surprise. Scientists had expected Bennu’s surface to consist of fine-grained material like a sandy beach, but instead OSIRIS-REx was greeted by a rugged world littered with boulders – the size of cars, the size of houses, the size of football fields. The main science goal of OSIRIS-REx is to briefly touch down on Bennu and collect a sample for return to Earth, but the asteroid’s unexpected roughness could pose a hazard to the spacecraft. Areas for safely touching down are fewer and smaller than anticipated, and OSIRIS-REx will have to navigate to them with unprecedented accuracy. Now, mission planners have identified four candidate sample collection sites, and named them after birds that can be found in Egypt: Osprey, Kingfisher, Nightingale, and Sandpiper. In mid-2020, OSIRIS-REx will descend to one of these sites, and collect a sample of pristine material from the origins of the solar system that will be studied on Earth for decades to come. The 3D animations on this page were created using laser altimetry data and imagery of Bennu taken by OSIRIS-REx. The animations are available in Hyperwall resolution (5760x3240).

The OSIRIS REx mission has been scrutinizing the asteroid Bennu looking for site where they can take a sample, but the asteroid surface proved to be more rough rocky than they originally expected. So the target sites were 1/6th of the size they originally expected to work with, which means the navigation will have to be more accurate to get the sample without risking the spacecraft. Meanwhile elsewhere the Japanese Hayabusa 2 mission is heading home with its much smaller samples, we got to find out some more about Hayabusa's results at last week's American Geophysical Union meeting in San Francisco. Here's the press event announcing the OSIRIS REx site selection from the AGU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=768g-XTfbc8 The AGU Session with the Hayabusa video has been made available again https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=642vdp-q3lM

The main science goal of NASA's OSIRIS-REx mission is to briefly touch down on near-Earth asteroid Bennu and collect a sample of fine-grained material, but the asteroid’s unexpected roughness could pose a hazard to the spacecraft. After a year of scoping out Bennu’s boulder-scattered surface, the OSIRIS-REx team has officially selected a sample collection site. The team concluded that a site designated “Nightingale” – located in a crater high in Bennu’s northern hemisphere – is the best spot for the OSIRIS-REx spacecraft to snag its sample. Nightingale’s regolith – or rocky surface material – is dark, and images show that the crater is relatively smooth. Because it is located so far north, temperatures in the region are lower than elsewhere on the asteroid and the surface material is well-preserved. The crater also is thought to be relatively young, and the regolith is freshly exposed. This means that the site would likely allow for a pristine sample of the asteroid, giving the team insight into Bennu’s history. OSIRIS-REx will collect its sample of Bennu in mid-2020, and return it to Earth in late 2023.

It’s widely held that it was an asteroid that doomed the dinosaurs; a hurtling hunk of space rock that, around 66 million years ago, crashed into Earth and rewrote the ecosystems of an entire planet. Today, an asteroid impact is still something we to some extent “plan’ for… but what says that we would fare any better than the dinosaurs did? In this video, Unveiled looks out into the solar system to ask; What would planet Earth do if an asteroid was heading straight for it?

This animation shows where Hygiea’s orbit is in our Solar System. Like Ceres, Hygiea is in the main asteroid belt, which is located between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter. While Hygiea was thought to be an asteroid, new observations with the SPHERE instrument on the VLT have revealed that Hygiea is spherical in shape, meaning it could be reclassified as a dwarf planet. This would make it the smallest dwarf planet yet in our Solar System, after Ceres. More information and download options: http://www.eso.org/public/videos/eso1918b/ Credit: ESO/spaceengine.org

Scientists have had the opportunity to examine several asteroids in the Solar System now, and what they’ve learned is how much variety is out there, depending on the mass, distance from the Sun and composition. Astronomers currently know of 829,400 asteroids across the Solar System, and they’d love to visit as many of them as possible to learn more about them. Considering the price of a single spacecraft, that’s going to get expensive. Fortunately, there are places in the Solar System that have trapped a large number of asteroids in a way that a single spacecraft can visit several of them as part of a mission. They’re at Jupiter’s L4 and L5 Lagrange points, and this week NASA approved a new mission that’ll explore 7 different asteroids over a 12-year journey. It’s called Lucy.

NASA and Arizona State University plan to send an orbiter to the Psyche asteroid, which is believed to be made mostly out of metal. This mission could be the key to understanding the inside of Earth's core. » Subscribe to Seeker!http://bit.ly/subscribeseeker » Watch more Countdown to Launch: http://bit.ly/CTLplaylist Between Mars and Jupiter, you can find Psyche, one of the only asteroids that scientists believe might be made mostly of metal and researchers from NASA and and Arizona State University will be sending an orbiter to the asteroid for the very first time. Exploring Psyche’s terrain could be our only key to understanding what the inside of Earth’s core could be like. Visiting asteroids isn’t new to space exploration with Vesta, Ceres, Ryugu, and Bennu being some of the most recent mission destinations. And asteroids, for the most part, have been all the same; usually rocky, airless drifting through the cosmos as leftover debris from a chaotic beginning. But Psyche is different. “We’re pretty sure that it’s largely made of iron-nickel metal. And there are very, very few asteroids out in the asteroid belt that we think are made of metal or largely of metal,” Lindy Elkins-Tanton, Principal Investigator of the NASA Psyche mission, told Seeker Researchers suspect Psyche is an exposed core of a protoplanet, which is a planet in its early formation stages and it’s most likely that the asteroid lost its rocky exterior during violent collisions in the beginning of our solar system’s evolution...at least, that’s what scientists’ best assumptions are. And no one really knows what Psyche looks like beyond a speck of light, and so the 2022 Psyche mission will include sending back camera images of the asteroid so we can take a look at what a metallic body like this looks like. Find out more about this metallic asteroid and how the team of researchers plans to explore its terrain on this episode of Countdown to Launch. #Asteroid #Earth #Space #Science #Seeker #CountdownToLaunch Read More: MISSION TO A METAL WORLD: Psyche https://www.jpl.nasa.gov/missions/psyche/ "Because we cannot see or measure Earth's core directly, Psyche offers a unique window into the violent history of collisions and accretion that created terrestrial planets. The mission is led by Arizona State University. NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory is responsible for mission management, operations and navigation." 16 Psyche https://solarsystem.nasa.gov/asteroids-comets-and-meteors/asteroids/16-psyche/in-depth/ "Unlike most other asteroids that are rocky or icy bodies, scientists think the M-type (metallic) asteroid 16 Psyche is comprised mostly of metallic iron and nickel similar to Earth’s core. Scientists wonder whether Psyche could be an exposed core of an early planet, maybe as large as Mars, that lost its rocky outer layers due to a number of violent collisions billions of years ago." Instruments & Science Investigations https://psyche.asu.edu/mission/instruments-science-investigations/ "The Gamma Ray and Neutron Spectrometer will detect, measure, and map Psyche’s elemental composition. The instrument is mounted on a 6-foot (2-meter) boom to distance the sensors from background radiation created by energetic particles interacting with the spacecraft and to provide an unobstructed field of view." ____________________ Countdown to Launch takes a deep dive into upcoming space missions from around the world.

Around 500 Million years ago, Earth’s climate was warm, and the planet had nearly no ice, even at the poles. Then an asteroid broke apart deep in our solar system, and our planet plunged into an ice age at the same time. Are the two events related? Also, will future Mars residents farm bugs for food?

Senior Astronomer Seth Shostak explains how to get your name associated with an astronomical object such as asteroids, comets, and stars.

Dinosaurs thrived in the warm temperatures and mild weather of what we call the Mesozoic Era. But 66 million years ago, the world’s climate drastically changed. Earth became like a Zach Snyder film—much colder and darker. Plants died, food became scarce, and three-quarters of the creatures on Earth—including most of the dinosaurs—went extinct. We still debate what caused this relatively sudden change in climate. Two popular theories are an asteroid strike and the eruption of a giant volcano.

AstroInformatics 2019 Conference: AstroInformatics Methods and Applications http://astroinformatics2019.org/

Join us on Saturday, September 14th, starting at 7 PM PDT | 4 PM EDT | 23:00UTC to watch Potentially Hazardous Asteroids "2000 QW7" as it whizzes past Earth! The monster Near-Earth Asteroid, unimaginably dubbed 2000 QW7, is estimated to be up to 650 metres (2,133 ft) in diameter - that's larger New York's One World Trade Center! It's not just the asteroid's size that is gargantuan... It will whizz by Earth at a staggering velocity of 14,361 mph (6.42km/sec) and, at its closest, will be 3.3 million miles from Earth - a mere stone's throw in astronomical terms. Slooh will train its huge telescopes, based at its flagship observatory at the Institute of Astrophysics of the Canary Islands, on the asteroid to provide unrivalled views of the space rock as it makes its closest approach. Join Slooh Astronomer Paul Cox, together with a superb line-up of expert guests, to explain the risks these objects pose to life on Earth.

Four Asteroids Are On A Collision Course With Earth ► Subscribe: https://goo.gl/r5jd1F You hear about it almost every day in the news or see something online. There is always some story about an asteroid that is headed towards Earth and is set to wipe out human existence. However most of the time these are just articles to grab your attention, and when you finally get to the part about how far away it is it turns out to be something in the hundreds of thousands of miles and in most cases. Even millions and millions of miles away from us with no chance of smacking into the planet.  #earth #asteroid #meteorite #space #cataclysm

2019-08-29 - This 3D global map of asteroid Bennu's topography was created from about 20 million measurements taken by the OSIRIS-REx Laser Altimeter (OLA), an instrument contributed to the international sample-return mission by the Canadian Space Agency. The colours represent the distance from the centre of Bennu: dark blue areas lie approximately 60 metres lower than peaks indicated in red. This model has a resolution of approximately one measurement per metre.

Last week, an asteroid dubbed "2019 OK" flew past the Earth closer than most asteroids. Had we been less lucky, it would have smashed into the planet with the force of 30* that the bomb that struck Hiroshima... and the scariest part? We didn't even detect it until just days before it flew past. With existing anti-asteroid technology requiring at least a year of warning, it is difficult not to look up at the night sky and be slightly afraid. If another unlikely visitor shows up just days before its collision, could we stop it?

On October 19th, 2017 astronomers detected the first interstellar asteroid (or maybe comet) passing through the Solar System: Oumuamua. It had a brief encounter with the inner Solar System and then hurtled back out into interstellar space. Once astronomers noticed it, they directed the world’s telescopes on the object, but it was too far away to reveal anything more than a faint dot. Until now, we’ve only been able to study objects in our own Solar System. We have no idea what the rest of the Milky Way is like. But we were too late to catch it, no spacecraft was ready to make a quick intercept. Well, scientists aren’t going to make that mistake again. The European Space Agency announced their plans to build a comet interceptor. A spacecraft that will lurk out at the Earth-Sun L2 Lagrange point, waiting for a long-period comet or interstellar object to pounce on, and give us the first close up view ever.

The Asteroid Foundation and our premier sponsors welcome academic and industry leaders from Luxembourg to a technical presentation about asteroids led by experts traveling from around the world. Learn insights into asteroids including space missions, computational tools to find, track and deflect asteroids, the state of the world with respect to United Nations asteroid initiatives and much more. Our program is part of the United Nations International Asteroid Day campaign. The program is hosted Arendt and the Asteroid Foundation, a Luxembourg nonprofit. Program Mark Boslough will discuss what we have learned about the physics of terrestrial airbursts over the last quarter century. This knowledge has enabled us to model airburst consequences in support of risk assessment. Lynn Jones will discuss how the Large Synoptic Survey Telescope (LSST) will detect on the order of 200,000 Near Earth Asteroids, and over 6,000,000 Main belt asteroids, along with tens of thousands of long and short period comets, and anywhere from 1 to 100 Interstellar Objects like 'Oumuamua. This lets us identify unusual or outlier asteroids, discover potential targets for spaceflight missions, and learn about the formation of the Solar System. Slava G. Turyshev will present a new space mission concept that is capable of finding, detecting, and tracking 90% of near-Earth objects (NEO) with H magnitude of H ≤ 22 (i.e., ∼140 m in size). The new mission concept relies on two emerging technologies: the technique of synthetic tracking and the new generation of small and capable interplanetary spacecraft. Robert Jedicke will discussPan-STARRS1 telescope on the 3,000-meter summit of Haleakala in Hawai'i. The system can also detect asteroids that could be future targets for water extraction to jump-start human exploration of our solar system. Patrick Michel will present exciting new data from the asteroid missions Hayabusa2 as well as new science coming from OSIRIS-REx. Including anecdotes better than an Indiana Johns adventure. He is at the scientific heart of both these missions. Each panel presentation end with interactive Q&A from the Astronauts and the audience Speakers Georges Schmit, Asteroid Foundation Board Chair Danica Remy, Asteroid Day Co-founder Space Travelers Rusty Schweickart Dr. Ed Lu, Dr. Dorin Prunariu Aleksandr Misurkin Reinhold Ewald Scientists Lynne Jones Mark Boslough Patrick Michel Robert Jedicke Slava G.

Hera would be the first-ever spacecraft to visit a double asteroid. The asteroid system - named Didymos - is typical of the thousands that pose an impact risk to our planet, and even the smaller of the two would be big enough to destroy an entire city if it were to collide with Earth. Hera will help ESA to find out if it would be possible to deflect such an asteroid. The mission will revolutionise our understanding of asteroids and how to protect ourselves from them. This set of 3D renderings were created as part of the video Hera: ESA's planetary defence mission, in which astrophysicist and Queen guitarist Brian May tells the story of this ambitious proposed ESA mission.

Next 30 June 2019, anniversary of the 1908 Tunguska event, will be internationally celebrated as the “Asteroid Day“: it is “a global awareness movement where people from around the world come together to learn about asteroids and what we can do to protect our planet, our families, communities, and future generations“. This is the fifth edition, after the first one in 2015 and the very successful 2016, 2017 and 2018 editions. More and more exciting events are coming. In December 2016 the United Nations General Assembly adopted resolution A/RES/71/90, declaring 30 June International Asteroid Day. To celebrate the 2019 edition of Asteroid Day, marking its 5th Anniversary, the Virtual Telescope Project, the leading facility in the world sharing live, online the most spectacular near-Earth asteroids and their close encounters with our home planet, will officially offer you a memorable journey through our Solar System. We will explore the realm of asteroids, especially those coming close to our home planet, understanding their science and their importance. to be part of the journey, join us here on 30 June, at 23:00 UT!.

Asteroid Day is a dynamic awareness and educational program to inspire the world about asteroids – their role in the formation of our universe, how we can use their resources, how asteroids can pave the way for future exploration and finally how we can protect our planet from asteroid impacts. Asteroid Day events are held on 30 June each year to mark the anniversary of the 1908 Tunguska impact. Asteroid Day events are largely independently organized around the world for people of all ages and are mostly free-of-charge. Asteroid Day is a program run by the Asteroid Foundation, a Luxembourg nonprofit organization. Asteroid Day was co-founded in 2014, by Dr. Brian May, astrophysicist and lead guitarist of QUEEN, together with Danica Remy, President of B612 Foundation, Rusty Schweickart, Apollo 9 Astronaut, and filmmaker Grig Richters. In 2016, the United Nations officially designated Asteroid Day as the international day of awareness and education about asteroids. Together with the United Nations, space agencies, schools and universities Asteroid Day is organized by networks of supporters who host events worldwide on 30, June and any other day of the year that the independent groups determine: http://asteroidday.org

Hera will show us things we've never seen before. Astrophysicist and Queen guitarist Brian May tells the story of our mission that would be humanity's first-ever spacecraft to visit a double asteroid. The asteroid system – named Didymos – is typical of the thousands that pose an impact risk to our planet, and even the smaller of the two would be big enough to destroy an entire city if it were to collide with Earth. Hera will help us to find out if it would be possible to deflect such an asteroid on a collision course with Earth. The mission will revolutionise our understanding of asteroids and how to protect ourselves from them, and therefore could be crucial for saving our planet. First, NASA will crash its DART spacecraft into the smaller asteroid - known as Didymoon - before Hera comes in to map the resulting impact crater and measure the asteroid's mass. Hera will carry two CubeSats on board, which will be able to fly much closer to the asteroid's surface, carrying out crucial scientific studies, before touching down. Hera's up-close observations will turn asteroid deflection into a well-understood planetary defence technique. The Hera mission will be presented to our Space19+ meeting this November, where Europe’s space ministers will take a final decision on flying the mission, as part of the Agency's broader planetary defence initiatives that aim to protect European and world citizens.
