Welcome to Astronomy Castle, weekly facts based journey through the Coswell story.

I hope you understand not only what we know, but how we know what we know.

I'm Frieza Cain, publisher of Universe today with me as always is Dr. Pamela Gay, a senior

scientist for the Planetary Science Institute and the Director of Coswell Quest.

Hey Pamela, how you doing?

I'm doing well enough.

Where are you doing?

You're a little sick, which is why there's a bit of a delay with the show last week.

So if this show ends suddenly, it's because Pamela is tapping out and needs to go and have

some more lozenges and give back to sleep.

But Pamela, you've got big news that's come out this week for Coswell Quest and Osiris

Rack.

So can you tell us about it?

Well, I want to preface all of this by saying I work with the best group of humans ever

and this great news wouldn't be here if it wasn't for all of them, covering my sorry

ass while I was so sick for the past three weeks.

This Wednesday we launched Benu Mappers, which is a new project to map out all the rocks,

measure all the boulders, find all the craters, basically determine where are the hazardous

zones on the asteroid Benu and where are the cool areas where we should go and try and

grab a rock sample.

We have until July 10 to map out what, when we're done, will be close to 5,000 images

of this asteroid.
