Expected constraints on Phobos interior from the MMX gravity and rotation observations Article 116343 .2024.116343Hoffmann, T. Micheli, M. Cano, J-L.… Read More »Note, Paper: Mid-Icarus Digits
Vera Rubin Obs. Update Dec. 11 2024
It’s been too long since I’ve written on the Vera Rubin Observatory, and there’s progress to be seen- dynamic progress. The glass is on the telescope, and a camera too, but it’s the ComCam (Commissioning Camera), an under-populated version of… Read More »Vera Rubin Obs. Update Dec. 11 2024
Note, Paper: It’s Raining Met
There has been little to say from Earth and Planetary Science Letters…until now. Volume 648 (15 December 2024) includes: Nimmo, F. Kleine, T. Morbidelli, A. et al. Mechanisms and timing of carbonaceous chondrite delivery to the Earth Article 119112 .2024.119112 The… Read More »Note, Paper: It’s Raining Met
