What’s next for OSIRIS-REx? On Sunday it brought back its sample from the asteroid Bennu to Earth, and now the team at NASA can start running tests to determine if Bennu contains the ingredients for life? Or if water was brought to Earth by asteroids in the early days of the Solar System. Plus we can test our planet formation models too! Watch the full video on YouTube, link in bio! 👩🏽‍💻 I’m Dr. Becky Smethurst, an astrophysicist at the University of Oxford (Christ Church). I love making videos about science with an unnatural level of enthusiasm. I like to focus on how we know things, not just what we know. And especially, the things we still don’t know. If you’ve ever wondered about something in space and couldn’t find an answer online - you can ask me! My day job is to do research into how supermassive black holes can affect the galaxies that they live in. In particular, I look at whether the energy output from the disk of material orbiting around a growing supermassive black hole can stop a galaxy from forming stars. #astronomy #astrophysics #science #NASA #osirisrex #asteroids #bennu #solarsystem #space #cosmos #universe #drbecky
