[meteorite-list] Meteorite-related project needs help!

[Dolores Hill]

Greetings Meteorite_List Friends,

Here is a meteorite-related, short term project you might enjoy from the 
comfort of your home that will have real impact!

 From now until July 10th you can help the OSIRIS-REx mission map rocks, 
boulders, and craters on asteroid Bennu via CosmoQuest's Bennu Mappers 
project! Your help is greatly appreciated and it gives you a chance to 
explore amazing images... "meteoroids in situ on their parent body"! 
Personally I have thoroughly enjoyed seeing the variety of rocks on 
Bennu; absolutely breathtaking and intriguing with better images to 
come! The data acquired by Bennu Mappers and the science team will 
inform decisions on the best possible sites for the 
Touch-and-Go-Sample-Acquisition-Mechanism (TAGSAM) collection. See here 
for more details:

Best regards,
