Simple Physics Explains Diamond Shapes of Ryugu and Bennu

EVSN: Escape Velocity Space News - A podcast by Dr. Pamela Gay, Erik Madaus, Ally Pelphrey - Thursdays

Using a simple model based on granular physics, like those used for modeling sand or sugar deposits, scientists have recreated the diamond shape of asteroids Ryugu and Bennu in computer simulations. Plus, the origins of loner dwarf galaxies and this week’s What’s Up.
