A Bennu-type asteroid could lead to “severe environmental consequences,” researchers write, while acknowledging that a collision is not likely.

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.

Bennu’s rocks formed 4.5 billion years ago on a larger parent asteroid. That asteroid was wet and muddy. Under the surface, pockets of water perhaps only a few feet across were evaporating ...

The asteroid Bennu has been at the centre of scientific discussions recently, especially after researchers analysed surface samples collected by NASA’s OSIRIS-REx mission. While much of the ...

NASA spacecraft touched down on the rugged surface of the Bennu asteroid on Tuesday, grabbing a sample of rocks dating back to the birth of our solar system to bring home. The minivan-sized OSIRIS ...
