Bennu and Osiris


Egypt's Bennu Bird    (by Jeff Dahl)
You’ve heard of Benny and Joon?  Well, now there’s Bennu and Osiris.

Actually, Bennu and Osiris have been around for a long time.  Probably even before time began.  Both are Egyptian deities, and both are associated with creation and rebirth.

So it seems only supernatural that they will meet again, this time courtesy of NASA.  The spacecraft OSIRIS-Rex is heading straight for Bennu’s hard-core body.  Within an hour or so, the two shall be reunited.

Hopefully, Osiris will not be too flighty a companion.  The motives, however, seem somewhat suspect.  Professing to just want a closer relationship, Osiris might instead be plotting to rob Bennu of some hidden treasures.
