The family originated in the inner main belt not very far from the source regions of near-Earth asteroids (101955) Bennu and (162173) Ryugu, recently visited respectively by NASA’s OSIRIS-REx ...

Researchers are analyzing materials returned from asteroid 101955 Bennu, and they don't look exactly like chondrules seen in meteorites.

For instance, the asteroids (162173) Ryugu and (101955) Bennu have an oblate spheroidal shape with a pronounced equator, but contain different surface hydration levels.

Context A 2021 NASA study did indeed determine the probability of Bennu, a large asteroid heavily studied that year, coming into contact with Earth by the year 2300. The report said the likelihood ...

Imagine arriving back at Earth after traveling through space for seven years, tirelessly transmitting images and hauling back rock samples from the diamond-shaped asteroid 101955 Bennu.

OSIRIS-REx spent December 2018 to May 2021 observing Bennu, imaging it and taking measurements of its spin, shape, and makeup.

Officially designated 101955 Bennu, the space rock was selected as a destination of NASA's first ever asteroid sample collection mission, the Origins, Spectral Interpretation, Resource ...
