In September 2023, Greg Brennecka stopped by to preview the return to Earth of the OSIRI-REx asteroid Bennu sample return capsule. The sample landed safely and the mission scientists like Greg Brennecka have started their analysis. Some of our toughest questions are being answered by the data already. How old is Bennu? Is there organic material? Where was the asteroid formed? Is Bennu different from what we expected? But hasn't been all smooth sailing. The mission team had to go into full innovation mode to overcome some early difficulties.And we've only just begun!Listen in to this fascinating chat with Greg.Check out Greg's book Impact here.Follow Cosmic Coffee Time on X for some special content X.com/CosmicCoffTime You can request a topic for the show!

This week’s feature is from Dr Nadezhda Cherbakov, where she tells us about Vera Rubin’s historic discovery of Dark Matter and how she is still being denied a well-deserved Nobel Prize. Dr Ian Musgrave in’What’s Up Doc?’ tells us what to look for in the sky this week and for astrophotographers, how to use a simple point-and-shoot camera on a telescope. Ian's Tangent: #TweetYourResearchAsAHarryPotterNovel This Week’s News: 1. The Philae spacecraft, lost since 2014, has finally been found in a crevice on comet Churyumov–Gerasimenko 2. OSIRIS-REx NASA's first asteroid sampling mission successfully launched into space last Thursday 3. Evidence for Planet 9 may already exist. The search for Planet X heats up. 4. New view of the Milky Way’s evolution. Using colors to identify the approximate ages of more than 130,000 stars in the Milky Way's halo, Notre Dame astronomers have produced the clearest picture yet of how the galaxy formed more than 13.5 billion years ago. Their Animation tinyurl.com/astrophizmilky clearly shows older stars at the centre of our galaxy, supporting a new theory of the Milky Way’s evolution.
In honor of OSIRIS-REx—NASA’s newest asteroid mission—we explore the policy and history of near-Earth Objects: why NASA explores them, how the government plans to find and defending the planet, and the how policy can keep up with ambitious plans to mine asteroids.
