Ms. Hill,
Thank you!!. Excellent. Looking forward to a smooth landing and the
analyses of findings in a future "Noticed" webinar.
Again, perfect; history, progress, procedural processes and now just
waiting for the unknown.

*Relics of a Time Long Past: Deciphering the Origins of Our
Planetary System Through Analysis of Returned Samples*
Our solar system formed from a spinning cloud of gas and dust some 4.5
billion years ago. Our understanding of this early solar nebula has
largely been developed through the decades-long study of meteorites,
rocks from asteroids that hurtled through space before eventually
arriving on Earth. Asteroids are remnants of the earliest days of our
solar system, representing our most primitive solar system building
blocks. However, we lack an understanding of which asteroids
meteorites derive from, meaning we lose important context for
deciphering the origins of our solar system. This September, NASA
will, for the first time in its history, return a piece of an
asteroid. Led by the University of Arizona’s Lunar and Planetary
Laboratory, the OSIRIS-REx mission will return ≥60 g of carbonaceous
asteroid Bennu. In my public evening lecture, I will provide an
overview of meteorites and what they tell us about the solar system as
well as an overview of this transformative mission, the plan for
sample analysis, and what we hope to learn about our origins by
measuring the returned samples.
