Secured inside that delivery was over 120 grams of material collected directly from 101955 Bennu, a large near-Earth asteroid that NASA ranks as one of the biggest potential impact threats we know ...

NASA’s OSIRIS-REx mission returned 121.6 grams of sample from asteroid (101955) Bennu in September 2023—the largest sample ever returned to Earth.

The particles from Bennu are a sample obtained by OSIRIS-Rex, a spacecraft of the United States National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA).

The spacecraft departed for near-Earth asteroid (101955) Bennu aboard an United Launch Alliance Atlas V 411 evolved expendable launch vehicle at 7:05 p.m. EDT on September 8, 2016, on a seven-year ...

OSIRIS-REx also discovered that Bennu’s orbit is changing. A “day” on Bennu lasts a short 4 hours and 17.8 minutes. But that’s enough to heat up the asteroid’s dayside.

Rock and dust samples brought back from the near-Earth asteroid Bennu contain organic matter, including amino acids and all five DNA and RNA bases, as well as salts that formed early in the history of ...
