A head thumper if ever there was one.

Didn't we learn long ago that biofuel is as bad (or nearly) as fossil fuels? Why didn't they get it?!

The Hubble images of the Dimorphos boulder swarm are pretty cool; here's the full story, in a paper posted on @arXiv. https://t.co/cCmGhMlzl3 #DART #Dimorphos

Perhaps they got some expert advice from MIT students.

Last year, the DART spacecraft took a dive into asteroid Dimorphos, changing its orbit.
Now we can see another result: The impact also flung out at least 37 boulders, which are now orbiting alongside the battered asteroid.

Can two planets share the same orbit?

[The SETI Institute @SETIInstitute]

Scenes from space rock band practice. 🤘🎸

Recovery teams in Utah rehearsed how they'll retrieve the asteroid sample collected by the OSIRIS-REx spacecraft. Delivery to Earth is set for Sept. 24, 2023. See images of the #ToBennuAndBack practice run: https://t.co/4K62zVUsnw
