We know so little about how our own Solar System came to be.
Cameras from the Global Fireball Observatory in Alberta recorded the first rocky meteoroid ever from the Oort cloud, shedding some light on early formation.
Fantastic video from the team here: youtu.be/X6KHS1AmMpw
A 2 kg rocky meteoroid observed in February 2021 is shown to be coming directly from the Oort cloud, indicative of a high ice/rock ratio there (1-20%) and supportive of a massive proto-asteroid belt scenario. Vida (@meteordoc) et al.: nature.com/articles/s41550-0…
Where did the last 10 years go? 7/12/12 I arrived in Perth, landed in the morning, turned up at Curtin University, and officially started my PhD (so I could start getting paid!)
Now I'm managing the project I came here to build, and met some amazing people along the way. ❤️
The magic of open source data / data sharing and multidisciplinary collaborations: @haaadry, @joshuasoderholm, @ProfAndyTomkins, @seamus_anderson, @RachaelLappan and team found the biggest meteorite strewn field since Murchison in 1969!

The team @CurtinSpaceSci got some fab shots of #LucyMission in return 😊🛰️

Hello, beautiful! As the #LucyMission passed by Earth recently, it captured this look at our planet. The upper left of the image includes a view of Hadar, Ethiopia, home to the 3.2 million-year-old human ancestor fossil for which the spacecraft was named go.nasa.gov/3ssVDBf
ALT The full Earth appears as sphere against the blackness of space in this black-and-white view. Continents, oceans, and swirling clouds are visible.
The youngest member of @CurtinSpaceSci met the #PrimeMinister today. Maybe she'll get to work on her own #BinaryX mission one day!
Pretty chuffed with our team at the @CurtinSpaceSci for observing @LucyMission from Broome on the weekend
