@astrosnapper @michael_w_busch I would be totally surprised by a metal asteroid! I'm team E type!
English
@michael_w_busch Any word on the polarization ratios ? (Fingers crossed/raised for Team Metal🤘 Asteroid)

@astrosnapper @michael_w_busch @LCO_Global We have a couple of SpeX spectra of DZ2. Hopefully I'll see the reduced spectra soon!

@michael_w_busch @LCO_Global Fingers crossed for Happy Klystrons...

📬 Special Delivery!
On Sept. 24, 2023, the #OSIRISREx spacecraft will deliver a capsule of precious asteroid material to Earth and @USPS just announced there will be a stamp to mark the occasion! nasa.gov/osirisrex

We’ve been tracking asteroid 199145 (2005 YY128) & know its orbit. On Feb 16 it will make its close approach, but will do so at a distance 12 times further away than the Moon with no threat of impact. More data: cneos.jpl.nasa.gov/ca/ Explore in 3D: eyes.nasa.gov/apps/asteroids

@RillitoResearch A Japanese documentary crew asked Nick and I to (1) crawl under the LDT on film to discuss the instruments among ourselves and (2) pretend to observe in the control room by looking at old images. Anyone who sees this will know we are not winning any oscars.

@tomburbine @JWSTObservation @Apollotom We'd be happy to talk to you about it! MIRI MRS observations should happen in late November or December.

It worked! Analysis of data obtained over the past two weeks by our #DARTMission investigation team shows the spacecraft's kinetic impact with its target asteroid successfully made a small change to the asteroid’s orbit. See what we're learning so far: go.nasa.gov/3elYJn5

I am absolutely thrilled to be a part of this fantastic team. I'm so excited by what we've already accomplished and inspired to keep up the work. #DARTMission
