Not much closer 'til they grab a rock



The OSIRIS-REx satellite is only a MILE away from little asteroid Bennu, and it's getting some pretty detailed pictures, as one might expect.  They're going to do a lot of reconnaissance so they can decide where to bring the satellite down to the surface and acquire a little sample, which they plan to bring back to Earth.
