Asteroid Bennu’s Rugged Surface Baffled NASA, We Finally Know Why

In one of the biggest surprises of NASA's OSIRIS-REx mission, its target asteroid, Bennu, turned out to be a jagged, rugged world covered in large boulders, with few of the smooth patches of sandy or pebbly material scientists had expected based on observations with Earth-based instruments. Bennu's looks were quite deceiving, and until now, scientists struggled to figure out why.

The internal porosity of asteroid 16 Psyche significantly governs the formation, depth, and shape of its large impact craters, determining how impact energy is absorbed and how ejected material is distributed across its surface.

Researchers have provided the first experimental evidence that shear-flow instability occurs under conditions similar to planet-forming regions, bridging a critical gap in understanding how fine dust aggregates into planetesimals.

From dust to planets: a turbulent story

Planets form within protoplanetary disks: vast disks of gas and dust orbiting around very young stars.

#PPOD: On June 25, 2023, NASA’s JWST turned to the famed ringed world Saturn for its first near-infrared observations of the planet. Saturn itself appears extremely dark at this infrared wavelength observed by the telescope, as methane gas absorbs almost all of the sunlight falling on the atmosphere. However, the icy rings remain relatively bright, resulting in Saturn's unusual appearance in the JWST image.
