Astromaterials processor Mari Montoya shows a hand heart while working in the OSIRIS-REx canister glovebox at NASA’s Johnson Space Center in Houston. Montoya was sweeping asteroid material on the avionics deck of the OSIRIS-REx canister and was so deep in concentration that she didn’t realize the dust had formed the shape of a heart until her teammate on the other side of the glovebox pointed it out.
