The Daily Space - Bennu’s Boulders Act as Body Armor
The 365 Days of Astronomy - A podcast by 365DaysOfAstronomy.org
An analysis of the craters on Bennu’s surface provides evidence that the rubble pile asteroid is protected from smaller impacts by the boulders scattered on the surface. Plus, the SLS Wet Dress Rehearsal, dwarf galaxies around M81, and this week in rocket history, we look back at the X-15 hypersonic plane.
