#JAXA ISAS Curation have released a new postcard of all-time FAVOURITE grains from the #asteroid#Ryugu sample returns by #Hayabusa2 😂
Clockwise from top left we have a grain that shows space weathering, one that contains amino acids, one with carbonates and one with tiny fluid inclusions.
However, the BEST part is the little character drawn by Tahara Rui (curation researcher) of a dragon wrapped around Ryugu (whose name means “dragon palace”). I want this as a plushie!
