[meteorite-list] OSIRIS-REx Bennu Mappers still needs you!
Greetings Meteorite Friends, The OSIRIS-REx asteroid sample return mission still needs your help. So the original Bennu Mappers CosmoQuest program has been extended. I am writing to invite our friends in the meteorite community to continue (or start) mapping craters, boulders, and rocks on asteroid Bennu. See here for details: https://bennu.cosmoquest.org/ I know many of you have enjoyed exploring and mapping some weird boulders and rocks on Bennu's surface. THANK YOU!! I can't wait until the sample returns in 2023 for the "rest of the story"! Best regards, Dolores Hill -- Dolores H.
