Preeeetty happy with how the framing came out on DUST OF OSIRIS!! 😍 #OSIRISREx#SpaceArt#SciArt#watercolor

A framed painting of the top-down view of the opened sample return capsule from the OSIRIS-REx mission to asteroid Bennu. The frame is gold wood with a center stripe of black, with a black mat. Circular sections and hexagonal bolts are seen among the rocky material in the middle ring, framed by lotus flower motifs and patterned circles with geometric ink designs drawn in an ancient Egyptian style with gold accents. A ring of painted turquoise, lapis and carnelian rectangles accented with gold surrounds the inkwork. Inspired by the decorative motifs of Tutankhamen’s treasures, and the Art Deco-tinged Egyptian Revival movement that arose from the discovery of said treasures.

🧪 Similar phosphates were found in JAXA’s Ryugu sample, but Bennu's purity and grain size are unprecedented.These findings provide valuable clues about Bennu's historic conditions. #Astrobiology#OSIRISREX 3/4
