“Where the telescope ends, the microscope begins. Which of the two has the grander view?”
Very cool new paper on the discovery of chunks of asteroid Vesta on asteroid Bennu.
Our recent paper showed that pieces of carbonaceous-chondrite-like micrometeoroids bombarded Vesta’s regolith.
We should look through the carbonaceous chondrite multi-gigapixel BSE mosaics for clasts of HED-like material.
