This is a great chance to see a hypersonic reentry vehicle tonight in the SF Bay Area. Look West. Listen for the sonic boom about 3-5 minutes later, it will sound like a muffled thump.
Our #AsteroidInstitute program is building open-source tools that help scientists map and navigate our solar neighborhood. This year’s accomplishments are a reflection of our team’s talent, persistence, and shared mission. Be part of our crew today. https://t.co/6efLbG6dCb
