Unlocking the Sonic Signature of Asteroid Bennu with NASA's OSIRIS-REx Mission
Scientists at NASA’s OSIRIS-REx mission have just discovered the “sonic signature” of the asteroid Bennu! By using the spacecraft’s laser ranging system, they were able to measure the vibrations of the asteroid, which vary depending on the size and shape of a given object. This data will help scientists better understand the asteroid’s composition and how it behaves in space. Excitingly, this is the first time a sonic signature has been recorded for a celestial body!
