Feb 9, 2023 · In our SVS Bennu visualizations, we mapped the two images above to the 3D models with a spherical UV mapping projection (which uses a projection that is based on a spherical shape wrapped around the mesh). Images were blended to achieve the highest resolution texture while still ensuring global coverage.

Feb 16, 2021 · This visualization of Bennu was selected for the cover of the November 6th special issue of Science. The image was created using high-resolution imagery and laser altimetry data from the OSIRIS-REx spacecraft.

1 day ago · a, Mass spectra of Bennu (black) and Ryugu (orange) samples showing the relative abundance of polythionates with three to seven S atoms. b, Detail around m/z = 319 with major annotated elementary compositions (complete annotation can be found in Supplementary Fig. 3). c–e, Data visualization of the chemical compositions and number of ...

Dec 31, 2010 · Textures are simple cylindrical projections with prime meridian at the middle, provided at the highest resolution available. Bennu (Bennu OSIRIS-REx 5cm v1) (JPEG, 15708×7854px, 58.8 MB)

Download STL or OBJ files and print your own 3D model of asteroid Bennu. Three versions are currently available. After studying asteroid Bennu at close range for three months, the OSIRIS-REx mission team has developed a new shape model with a 75-centimeter resolution.

Dec 3, 2019 · We show that space-weathering-produced opaque constituents, such as graphitized carbons, darken mixtures with phyllosilicates and produce a bluing the UV-visible spectrum, consistent with what is seen on the asteroids compared with carbonaceous chondrites.

Visible-wavelength color and reflectance provide information about the geologic history of planetary surfaces. Here we present multispectral images (0.44 to 0.89 micrometers) of near-Earth asteroid (101955) Bennu. The surface has variable colors …

2 days ago · Studies of rock and dust from asteroid Bennu delivered to Earth by NASA’s OSIRIS-REx (Origins, Spectral Interpretation, Resource Identification and Security–Regolith Explorer) spacecraft have revealed molecules that, on our planet, are key to life, as well as a history of saltwater that could have served as the “broth” for these ...
