A selfie of me standing in front of the display case at the science museum containing the asteroid grain. The grain is in a small metal cylinder in a yellow circle at the bottom of the display case. A mirror reflects the contents of the cylinder for better viewing.

Me n’ my asteroid chip! A selfie at the London Science Museum yesterday, seeing the exhibit of the grain from asteroid Ryugu returned by the Japanese Hayabusa2 mission. This is the first time I’d seen the exhibit after delivering the asteroid grain from JAXA to London last summer!
