So we've uncovered a contact binary KBO that's really flat, and a Near-Earth asteroid that's spewing rocks into its orbit. What other weeeird stuff is 2019 gonna give to us, I wonder? On topic though, has the OSIRIS-REx team been able to locate where the sources of these ejections are on Bennu? I anticipate that'll be a new priority.
