After dropping off its historic sample from asteroid Bennu, the OSIRIS-REx spacecraft is headed to its next target: another potentially hazardous near-Earth asteroid, called Apophis.

The delivery from the asteroid Bennu, seven years after the spacecraft launched, marks the end of the space-voyaging phase of the mission. Scientists will now study the rocks and dust to better understand the origins of life on Earth.

The curriculum for the Planetary Geoscience major builds on a foundation of mathematics, physics, and chemistry, establishes core knowledge and skills through a set of geoscience courses, advances through upper-level planetary science classes, and culminates in a capstone research or field experience.

Studying a lizard species in 18 mountain ranges in southeastern Arizona, researchers found 70 years' worth of climate-related extinction occurred in only seven years.

Named awardees are carefully selected based on their commitment to UArizona’s purpose, mission and values, unique skills in driving discovery and innovation, community impact, and willingness to empower others.

The new molecules exploit the iron dependency of malignant cells and could lead to the development of new anticancer drugs.

The center will focus on topological acoustic technology, which could revolutionize the way we use sound in various applications. With this technology, researchers can manipulate attributes of sound that were previously invisible to traditional acoustics.

Members of NASA's UArizona-led OSIRIS-REx mission completed one last dress rehersal before the spacecraft delivers a sample from asteroid Bennu to the Utah desert on Sept. 24.

The program is designed for students who are interested in using a foundational understanding of geosciences in pursuit of careers in areas that are of major importance in today’s changing world.
