The OSIRIS-REx spacecraft has arrived at the pristine asteroid Bennu!
It will spend a year in orbit looking for the best spot to scoop up material that will be returned to Earth.

(The mission is run out of the University of Arizona, so we’re extra proud.)

I am not the chef, but this is what I'll be eating soon-ish. Yes, that's a BBQ grill it's steaming in! (I love California where the weather makes that kind of thing possible)
T-minus 160 minutes until I get to snarf down platefuls of turkey and trimmings... #HappyThanksgiving Cosonauts!
