Here in Brussels @MetSoc2024 & great to be with my many “families”: my adopted Belgian family (generously extended to me by my PhD advisor, Ghislaine Crozaz), my @WashUAlumni @WUSTL_EEPS family, and my @MeteoriticalSoc #NierPrize family!

Peeled myself out of bed for the Bennu Session at #LPSC2024. This image of the sample made it worth it. Presented by P Haenecour. https://t.co/tLVIoC52WF

Exciting @NASAWebb news: We've discovered the first water-rich spectrum from protoplanetary disks around late M-type stars! This finding opens doors to understanding how inner disks evolve from water- to carbon-rich. C. Xie @UArizonaLPL and @EOSNExSS:

Exciting first results from the @OSIRISREx quicklook team including three members associated with @UAZScience @UArizonaLPL: Professor Tom Zega, myself and LPL Alum @DrPlanetMT! ☄️🪨☄️@uarizona
Did you know that scientists have found evidence of both carbon and water in initial analysis of the asteroid Bennu from the OSIRIS-REx mission? Read more about it ⬇️ https://t.co/FI6OHU7lZt

XCT scan of the Bennu sample at the Smithsonian NMNH!!!🪨☄️🪨☄️
Bennu is here! 🎉 Starting today, you can visit the museum and see a sample of the asteroid Bennu collected by the OSIRIS-REx mission more than 200 million miles away from Earth.

Here they are. These bits of ancient space rock may hold clues to how the rocky planets—including our own—formed. Scientists worldwide will study the #OSIRISREx sample for generations to come to get answers on where we come from.

More carbon than expected and an abundance of water were found in the 4.5-billion-year-old asteroid sample returned to Earth by #OSIRISREx. The two combined could mean that the building blocks for life on Earth might be locked in these rocks: https://t.co/IY6QfXXqeT

What's aboard the #OSIRISREx sample return capsule? Tune in to find out!
Live from @NASA_Johnson, we’re revealing what we know about the sample of asteroid Bennu recently delivered from space by our #OSIRISREx spacecraft. Plus: the science team shows what they found during their first tests of the sample.

No such thing as "too much of a good thing:" Looks like OSIRIS-REx brought back more from asteroid Bennu than scientists had hoped for. Watch the sample reveal live!

Asteroids are the building blocks of our solar system, and this asteroid contains the building blocks of life. Our initial analysis of the 4.5-billion-year-old rocks from asteroid Bennu delivered to Earth by #OSIRISREx shows evidence of carbon and water. https://t.co/Wg3Zq4dxBP
