ASTEROIDS

NASA's New Horizons made history when it flew by Kuiper Belt object 2014 MU69, nicknamed 'Ultima Thule', on New Year's Day of this year. Today, even though only 10% of the scientific data that the spacecraft collected has been sent to Earth, New Horizons has provided an amazing glimpse into the primordial solar system and revealed that Ultima Thule is the first contact binary object ever observed “in the wild” where it formed and in a largely unmodified state since its birth. High resolution images and the first comprehensive compositional spectroscopy data are now in-hand with the science team and many more scientific results will no doubt soon be forthcoming. To discuss the key results of this successful flyby and the future of the mission, we invited Alan Stern, planetary scientist at Southwest Research Institute and the Principal Investigator of NASA's New Horizons mission who will join us remotely via video-conferencing. Two Senior Research Scientists from our own SETI Institute who are part of the mission will participate in this discussion as well. Mark Showalter is a Fellow of the Institute who led the New Horizons risk assessment team before the flyby, and Ross Beyer, also a member of the New Horizons Geology and Geophysics team, who is helping to understand the 3D shape of MU69.

An exploration into new developments within the currently rapidly changing field of meteoritics and asteroid impacts. Discussed is the recent fall of a meteorite over Vinales, Cuba, the discovery of a new impact crater buried in Greenland, and the possibility that an ancient Tunguska-type event may have happened over the Ghor region of Jordan 3700 years ago.

Around 66 million years ago, all non-avian dinosaurs went extinct. Was the culprit a 6-mile wide asteroid that collided with Earth? Or did other factors contribute to the dinosaurs’ die-off? Paleontologist Aki Watanabe looks at other theories for why dinosaur populations declined during this famous mass extinction.

One theory for why the dinosaurs went extinct is that an asteroid hit Earth at the end of the Cretaceous period. But since no one was alive to see it, how can we know that it really happened? Astrophysicist Jackie Faherty reveals how clues found in sedimentary rock and on the ocean floor have helped scientists piece together this millennia-old mystery.

Don't miss this! Coming up on Thursday morning Venus and the Moon will dance in the sky together. If you can find the Moon and track it all day you might just be able to see Venus in the daytime without optical help! If the skies are clear here, I'll be giving this one a shot. Good luck! --SOCIAL-- @deepskydude --CONTACT-- [email protected] #venus #moon #deepskydude

What would we do if an asteroid was on course to hit Earth? Crashing a spacecraft into an asteroid could deflect it off its orbital path. The spacecraft DART will be tested on asteroid Didymoon. DART will crash into Didymoon at 6/kms and will shift its orbital path a fraction of 1%. The results will provide insight into future asteroid deflection.

An exploration of the dangerous nature of near earth asteroids, asteroid impacts and comets. Further I explore mitigation techniques for avoiding impacts, what might happen if we were impacted, and what has happened in the past with mass extinctions.

According to a report by Geek.com, one day before NASA's New Horizons made its historic flyby of Ultima Thule, the space agency broke another cosmic record. On December 31st, OSIRIS-REx entered into orbit around the asteroid Bennu, the smallest object ever to be circled by a spacecraft. Dante Lauretta, principal project investigator at the University of Arizona, Tucson, said in a statement, “The team continued our long string of successes by executing the orbit-insertion maneuver perfectly." OSIRIS-REx was reportedly launched in September of 2016, and has been inching closer to the planetoid for over two years, before it eventually landed on the asteroid last month. Geek.com reports that the ship is scheduled to circle the asteroid through the middle of February at a leisurely 62 hours per orbit. https://www.geek.com/news/nasas-osiris-rex-spacecraft-breaks-space-exploration-record-1767933/?source http://www.wochit.com This video was produced by YT Wochit News using http://wochit.com

On Dec. 31, 2018, NASA's OSIRIS-REx spacecraft entered orbit around asteroid Bennu — setting new records for the smallest body ever orbited by a spacecraft and the closest orbit of a planetary body by any spacecraft. OSIRIS-REx will remain in orbit until mid-February 2019 when the spacecraft will begin a series of flybys that allow it to conduct a more detailed survey of the asteroid's surface. It will enter orbit a second time in mid-2019.

NASA’s OSIRIS-REx spacecraft landed on asteroid Bennu last week, and already it’s found water on the minor planet. Early data from the Origins, Spectral Interpretation, Resource Identification, Security-Regolith Explorer (OSIRIS-REx) mission revealed water locked inside Bennu. Information gathered by the spacecraft’s OVIRS and OTES spectrometers reveals the presence of molecules that contain oxygen and hydrogen atoms bonded together, known as “hydroxyls.” https://www.geek.com/news/nasas-osiris-rex-discovers-water-on-asteroid-bennu-1765333/?source http://www.wochit.com This video was produced by YT Wochit News using http://wochit.com

CNN reports NASA's OSIRIS-REx, reached the asteroid Bennu only a week ago to collect samples. Details about the early solar system are already being discovered, including water within the clays on Bennu. OSIRIS-REx discovered hydroxyls, molecules of bonded oxygen and hydrogen atoms, which may be locked in clay minerals. Bennu may have been part of a larger asteroid, and the water would have been on its "parent" body. When samples of this material are returned by the mission to Earth in 2023, scientists will receive a treasure trove of new information about the history and evolution of our solar system.

Scientists say there's a 1-in-30 million chance we get hit with a 'country killer' asteroid Aug. 8, 2023

The OSIRIS-REx mission will provide invaluable ground-truth validation for the computer models in a case study that set out to determine the timeframe within which we must launch either a kinetic impactor or a nuclear explosive carrier and develop a conceptual design for that spacecraft. From the on-asteroid data gathered when the spacecraft touches down and, eventually, from hands-on research here on Earth, we will get a reality check for what we think we know about Bennu’s material composition (boulders, chunks, and dust), shape, mass, density, and so on. Gravimetric data could reveal whether the asteroid is hollow. Back on Earth, researchers will run various tests on the material. We may have enough information to develop a theoretical equation of state. We could then compare it to its closest match in SESAME, the Los Alamos database of equations of state. Armed with that data, we will rerun the models to see how much each scenario changes. Comparing data from the touchdown and sample return to the earlier, remotely observed data from Bennu will help us calibrate remote observations of other objects in the future. Then we can more precisely model the effects of our deflection and disruption strategies and refine the spacecraft design.

Asteroids are the leftover building blocks of the solar system, remnants from the dawn of planet formation that may have delivered organics and water to early Earth, and which could hold clues to the origins of life. Now, a NASA mission called OSIRIS-REx has arrived at near-Earth asteroid Bennu. It will map and study the tiny world in great detail, eventually returning a piece of Bennu to Earth in 2023. The discoveries of OSIRIS-REx will shed light on our solar system's ancient history, and help pave the way for future exploration of other small bodies. In this short documentary, members of the OSIRIS-REx team capture the excitement of arriving at Bennu and look forward to the discoveries ahead.

Two planetary scientists, Carey Lisse from the New Horizons mission, and Amy Simon from the OSIRIS-REx mission, discuss similarities and differences between asteroids and Kuiper Belt Objects - our solar system's most distant bodies. On Dec. 3, 2018, NASA's OSIRIS-REx mission will arrive at Asteroid Bennu where it will spend two years surveying this relic from our solar system's beginnings before ultimately collecting a sample and returning it to Earth in 2023. On New Year's Day 2019, NASA's New Horizons mission will visit Ultima Thule, making this Kuiper Belt Object the most distant object ever explored by humankind.

Our planet shares a lot with other rocky planets in our solar system, but astronomers have found a few mountains out there that are nothing like ours. SciShow has a spinoff podcast!

The key to our spacefaring future. Hosted by Seth Shostak and Molly Bentley. It’s not a bird or a plane, and probably not an alien spaceship, although the jury’s still deliberating that one. Some astronomers have proposed that an oddly-shaped object that recently passed through our Solar System could be an alien artifact. We consider the E.T. explanation for ‘Oumuamua, but also other reasons asteroids are invigorating our imagination. Are these orbiting rocks key to our future as a spacefaring species? Find out why traditional incentives for human exploration of space – such as political rivalry –aren’t igniting our rockets the way they once did, but why the potentially trillions of dollars to be made mining asteroids might. These small bodies may also hold the key to our ancient past: the New Horizons flyby of Thule in early 2019 will provide an historic look at a distant Kuiper belt object, and provide clues about the formation of the Solar System.

(2018) https://go.nature.com/2A9FncQ Last year a visitor came to our inner solar system. To us it looked like a faint spot of light, moving quickly relative to the fixed stars. We’d seen similar things countless times before – lonely rocks, remnants from the formation of our solar system, drifting on their endless orbits around the sun and faintly glimmering with its reflected light. Nothing unusual about such asteroids and comets, but what made this object special was its trajectory. It was not in orbit around the Sun at all. Rather, it appeared to have fallen in from interstellar space, and was on its way back out again. The object is 1I/2017 U1, better known as ‘Oumuamua. It’s the first chunk of interstellar space debris we’ve ever spotted passing through our solar system. It caused a justifiable stir at the time. Hell, WE even did an episode on it.
