"Deer Lady" is the third episode of the third season of the comedy and teen drama television series Reservation Dogs. The twenty-first episode overall, it was written by Sterlin Harjo, the program's showrunner and co-creator, and directed by Danis Goulet. Reservation Dogs tells the story of a group of four friends and Indigenous teenagers who live in Oklahoma. They call themselves the "Rez Dogs" and hope to eventually visit California in memory of their friend who committed suicide. Deer Lady, portrayed by Kaniehtiio Horn (pictured), is a recurring character in the show based on the mythological spirit Deer Woman. Inspired by 1970s horror films and 1990s indie films, the story focuses on the history of American Indian boarding schools and makes use of the endangered Kiowa language. The episode was first broadcast in August 2023; it received positive reviews from critics. It won an Art Directors Guild Award and was nominated for a Creative Arts Emmy Award and a Gold Derby Television Award. (Full article...)

101955 Bennu

101955 Bennu is a carbonaceous asteroid in the Apollo group. Discovered by the Lincoln Near-Earth Asteroid Research (LINEAR) project in 1999, it is named after Bennu, a bird of Egyptian mythology associated with the Sun, creation, and rebirth. Bennu has a mean diameter of 490 metres (1,610 ft) and has been observed extensively by the Arecibo Observatory planetary radar, the NASA Deep Space Network, and OSIRIS-REx, a NASA mission that landed on and has returned samples of the asteroid to Earth. Bennu is classed as a potentially hazardous object, with a cumulative 1-in-1,750 chance of impacting Earth between 2178 and 2290. This mosaic image was produced in 2020 from photographs based on two years of close observation of Bennu by OSIRIS-REx.
