Before #OSIRISREx arrived at asteroid Bennu, scientists thought it would be like a sandy beach. Instead they found a surface covered in boulders. But why? Scientists have solved the mystery: https://t.co/nGzAVivnyh https://t.co/GAHqEmfE6F

Running an Astrodon Blue Blocker Filter through Exofast

Hello everyone! I have a quick question that I thought I might be able to post here. I have taken data for an exoplanet transit using Astrodon's blue blocker filter (found here: [https://astrodon.com/products/astrodon-exo-planet-filter/](https://astrodon.com/products/astrodon-exo-planet-filter/) ). I am trying to run my data through Exofast in order to calculate things like the time of conjunction, Rp/R\*, etc. My problem is that Exofast only lists certain filters that are available to be selected, and this filter is not an option. I was thinking that I might try to figure out which of the options listed might be most similar to my filter and then just select that one as a closest estimate, but I was wondering if there is maybe a better way to go about this? Or does anyone have any tips or suggestions? Thanks so much guys!

On this day in 1975, the Soviet Union's Venera 9 spacecraft landed on the surface of Venus. It snapped this photo of Venus during its 53-minute mission on the planet's surface, one of the first photos sent back from the surface of another planet. https://t.co/jlN4CLUCtS https://t.co/j7ucc0Gbzz

I’m trying to get LEGO to produce this model of NASA’s JWST to help teach people about space telescopes. I still need 3.8k votes on LEGO Ideas to get them to review it. Help an astronomer out?
