DESCRIPTION
Working with scientists and the video team at NASA Goddard, I used OSIRIS-REx and asteroid Bennu's ephemeris orbit data to create an animation that tells the story of a near-Earth flyby.
"During the flyby, there is an extremely small chance that Bennu will pass through a “gravitational keyhole” – a region of space that would set it on just the right path to impact Earth, late in the 22nd century. Although it is difficult to determine the odds of this actually happening, new data from NASA’s OSIRIS-REx spacecraft have allowed scientists to better model how Bennu’s orbit will evolve over time, and to better calculate the probability of an impact."
