~Team Nullarbor 2k19 and our record breaking haul of 46 meteorites collected over 8 days of hot, sweaty desert hunting~ Our samples are in the lab @MonashEAE and you will see new science soon w/ @NullarborPurple @NatStephen@heab @GneissguyAngus @High5forscience@ItsJenMitchell
. @JasminaGalloway and @DrAndy_Tomkins join the forces of geology and physics to explore what happens when radioactive supanova remnants "bullets" are shot into forming planets in the "habitable zone". Can they influence habitability?

Dr Christophe Pinte from @MonashAstro delves into the detail of the proto- (and hosting! ) planetary disk and shows evidence of planets in gaps via calculated deviation of emitted gasses.
#sserviOz2019
. @danprice_astro of Monash Uni Physics discusses hunting rapidly formed planets within radially distributed dust rings of protoplanetary discs from ALMA surveys
#sserviOz2019
Trevor Ireland of @anuearthscience presents the story of the Japanese Hayabusa sample missions of S and C-type asteroids and how the frustrating challenges experienced dictated an interesting evolution of craft design and sample techiques for Ryugu
#rsesrockstars#sserviOz2019
Our #sserviOz2019 host @ItsJenMitchell presents a rare example of a beautiful pristine chondrule stumbled upon in a polymict breccia (Howardite) from a Vesta ejecta blanket and discusses implications for timing of LL(?) chondrule incorporation and sulfidation.
Space rocks team member @GneissguyAngus teaches us about how PGEs in #micrometeorites recovered from the Nullarbor and Flinders Ranges may be used tell us about atmospheric chemistries from both the modern and palaeo- atmospheres.
. @DrAndy_Tomkins and the space rocks team find hundreds of #micrometeorites in limestone cracks on the Nullarbor, a Martian analogue site, and discuss its implications as a source of energy for microbes

David Flannery from UQ takes us through the plan for #Mars2020 mission to #Jezero Crator, the rover's onboard tech and Australia's involvement through informative Archean fossil samples in the search for life on #Mars@sserviaustralia#sserviOz2019
First #sserviOz2019 invited talk on visualising fabrics in basaltic Martian #meteorites (#shergottites) (and doggos!) with @PlanetOfLucy through electron backscatter showing lava settling and flowing regimes on Mars.
We've got a *lot* of #meteorites to classify thanks to our Nullarbor recovery team, so @PlymUni students are helping us over in the UK too.
Becca is funded by the @RoyalAstroSoc, and is working @EMC_PlymUni on samples found back in 2013, including this chondrite... #SpaceRocks
