Hi everyone! I wanted to share with you my new planner, “Get it Together!” since it’s finally out!
This is a 16 month Sarah’s Scribbles planner that starts in September. It’s very special to me because I spent a long time designing it so it would be perfect for the comic strip. Each month has a different color and illustration style, and every week corresponds to a new comic. I picked all of my favorite comics from the last few years–in a lot of ways it’s like a mini book you can plan your life around.
There’s also stickers that come with the planner, and a pocket to keep papers in! Check it out HERE
In 2013, researchers published a shape model of asteroid Bennu based on years of observations from Puerto Rico’s Arecibo Observatory. Their model depicted a rough diamond shape. Five years later, the OSIRIS-REx spacecraft has reached the asteroid, and data obtained from spacecraft’s cameras corroborate those ground-based telescopic observations of Bennu.
The original model closely predicted the asteroid’s actual shape, with Bennu’s diameter, rotation rate, inclination and overall shape presented almost exactly as projected! This video shows the new shape model created using data from OSIRIS-REx’s approach to the asteroid.
One outlier from the predicted shape model is the size of the large boulder near Bennu’s south pole. The ground-based shape model calculated it to be at least 33 feet (10 meters) in height. Preliminary calculations show that the boulder is closer to 164 feet (50 meters) in height, with a width of approximately 180 feet (55 meters).
Also during the approach phase, OSIRIS-REx revealed water locked inside the clays that make up Bennu. The presence of hydrated minerals across the asteroid confirms that Bennu, a remnant from early in the formation of the solar system, is an excellent specimen for the OSIRIS-REx mission to study. Get all the details about this discovery HERE.
