In 2018, NASA’s OSIRIS-REx mission reached asteroid 101955 Bennu. Two years later, the spacecraft snagged a sample of its surface, which has since been returned to Earth. Now, astronomers are ...

This graphic shows asteroid Bennu's closest potential pass by Earth, in Sept. 2182, with just a 0.037 per cent chance of impact. The exact distance from Earth on that date apparently depends on ...

2.9K. Scientists from NASA’s OSIRIS-REx asteroid sample return mission recently delivered remarkable findings about asteroid 101955 Bennu after the mission returned its samples to Earth in 2023.

Japanese collaborators detected all five nucleobases — building blocks of DNA and RNA — in samples returned from asteroid Bennu by NASA’s OSIRIS-REx mission.

The first study (Nature Astronomy, "Abundant ammonia and nitrogen-rich soluble organic matter in samples from asteroid (101955) Bennu"), by international authors, analysed the samples to reveal ...

Most recently, researchers have started analyzing materials returned from asteroid 101955 Bennu, and presented their initial findings at the Lunar and Planetary Science Conference in The Woodlands ...

NASA says an asteroid larger than the Empire State Building is heading toward Earth. But don't worry, it's not expected to arrive until the year 2182 and there's only a .05% chance it will hit our ...
