We're counting down to 🥧#PiDay✨ with the math problems we use to explore space at @NASA. Can you calculate how many of @OSIRISREx's circular sample pads had to touch the asteroid Bennu to meet the mission goal. Take the #NASAPiDayChallenge at go.nasa.gov/piday

This image shows a top-down view of Bennu, with the camera pointed directly at its North Pole. A portion of the asteroid’s equatorial ridge and northern hemisphere are illuminated. It was taken on Mar. 4 from about 186 miles (300 km) away. More details: bit.ly/3uW0U4e

On April 7, I’ll take one last look at asteroid Bennu 🌑 I’ll spend ~4 hours capturing images from 2.4 miles (3.8 km), focusing on site Nightingale to see how Bennu’s surface was transformed by the sample collection event. More about the final flyby: go.nasa.gov/3p9Rj61
