Who *wouldn't* want a whole video on the Yarkovsky effect?

On that point, I was a little disappointed that she didn't mention that the Yarkovsky effect confirmed and refined by studying Benu was central to the updated calculations telling us that Benu has a non-trivial chance of hitting earth in a bit more than 150 years.

It is, but it would also be nice if she mentioned the others who are receiving samples due to their contributions to the mission. She seems to have a blind spot to some countries where it is about science or her book release.

[@bearthompson6506]

I watched the landing/recovery and am just amazed at the complexity of and detail in all the calculations and planning that goes into these missions. Reminded me of all the steps in the unfolding of JWST that had to go just right. Thanks for the summary of the mission and the teasers for what's ahead with the samples. Another "YES" for for more on the Yarkovsky Effect, please.

[@jimbolton2363]

Absolutely true science at its best

[@JohnDrewVoice]

Yes, I am interested in learning more about the Yarkovsky Effect. I'm in awe that the Earth acquired its water from external sources, that it has managed to retain its water, and that the Earth has not been rendered uninhabitable by asteroids. While the Earth could be easily made uninhabitable by humans, that it exists at all as a place where carbon-based life flourishes fascinates me.

[@CashedoutLookingup]

more detailed Dr. Becky science videos? yes I too would enjoy this. Someone say hour+ long? what? I'd take her classes if she taught this that's for sure. Love the work you do Dr.!

[@anthonyb5279]

Life has rendered the Earth uninhabitable more than a few times as our oceans and atmosphere changed there composition. The first time was when Cyano Bacteria put O2 from the ocean into the atmosphere choking it self out. Then again with the grate dying. Then another time as O2 diminished and large monster sized insects died off. If we make the Earth uninhabitable something will get threw the bottle neck and take over. The Earth wont die, and trust me the CO2 thing is greatly exaggerated. CO2 is NOT a runaway greenhouse gas. It can only raise the Earth temp by 2°F and most of that happened at the end of the last ice age. We will have to try something else to wreck the Earth. Hope you like eating Bugs because Methane is a runaway greenhouse gas.

[@andybryson3887]

Yarkovsky Effect is caused by the differential heating of one side of an object orbiting the sun. As the object spins, the warmer, Sun lit side rotates into the shadow side, and radiates photons (infra red photons) to a greater extent than the cold side, which has just rotated into the Sun lit side. This differential radiation of photons, imparts a minute momentum to the object, which over eons of continuous Yarkovsky Effect, can gradually change the objects orbit around the Sun

[@sovereign1160]

Humans have nowhere near the power to render the Earth uninhabitable.

Watched the landing live; what a relief when the parachute opened!! The sound of disappointment from the crowd when Genesis crash landed in 2004 was just so sad. NASA also did a very nice video montage about my home state where both samples landed, so that was pretty cool. Looking forward to updates around mid-October and yes, a video on the Yarkovsky Effect would be awesome, especially if there's a song in the bloopers. :)

[@mikepeterson9362]

I hope this doesn't come off too much as google-eyed fanboying, but I seriously think Becky is turning out to be one of the best science communicators since Tyson -- and minus the frustrating ego. I wouldn't ever ask her to stop doing the actual astrophysics that needs doing, but if I could just dream for a moment, I wouldn't hate it if someone gave her a documentary TV series or something. Maybe a collaboration with Brian Cox? (the physicist one, not the actor one). As the next American presidential election approaches, I'm going to need anything I can get to get me out of bed in the morning, and turning on actual TV isn't going to do it. I'm really glad Becky's here.

[@ianw5024]

Fun fact: Both Dr. Becky and Prof Cox are from (Greater) Manchester. Dr. B from Bolton, I believe. Prof Cox from Oldham. I used to live near Bolton. Never been to Oldham. Further fun fact: This proves that Manchester has been the centre of the universe since the industrial revolution! ETA further fun fact: Manchester boasts the best football team in the world - Manchester City. As well as some other team that plays in red, over the Irwell. I forget their name.

If football had a mathematical enigma that it needed to call "dark matter" because it didn't know what to do with itself, then it would be called Manchester.

[@ianw5024]

Lest we forget, there has also been a sample return mission to a comet. The Stardust spacecraft sampled dust from the coma of comet Wild-2 in 2004, and returned the samples to Earth in 2006. Also, the Philae lander, part of the Rosetta mission to comet 67P (2014-2016), was a short lived laboratory on the surface of that comet. And some of the dust ejected from the comet was captured and analysed by the mother craft. Lots of organics. In fact, comets are covered in them. However, the D/H ratio of the water at that comet, and from most others that have been measured, are quite different from terrestrial values. Hence why it is thought that the bulk of the Earth's water may have come from asteroids. In particular, C- type asteroids, which have similar D/H ratios to Earth.

[@traficdas]

When earth was created it was a sphere of water, then the land was brought forth from that sphere of water to form the one whole continent in one 24 hour day. Be careful where of you speak for you were not here when it was formed so you are incorrect. I know the creator of this planet, obviously you do not.

ESA does a lot of good work worthy of more attention. I wish they would get a crewed program going.

@@robloggia Indeed. Funding is the problem. I remember watching the pictures from the Giotto probe as it approached comet Halley in 1986. That was ESA. The USSR sent a couple of probes (Vega I & II) and the Japanese sent a couple. Zilch from NASA. ESA does some brilliant science. I know some of the people still working on things there. Venus Express was another ESA mission. A former colleague wrote some decent stuff on the plasma environment there. As he also did with the Rosetta mission. Plasma physics rocks!
