NASA probe finds water on asteroid Bennu

OSIRIS-REx has spent almost two years circling near-Earth asteroid Bennu. Tomorrow, it swoops in to scoop up a sample. But Bennu has turned out to be more complicated than we expected. Thanks to laser altimetry data and high-resolution imagery from OSIRIS-REx, we can take a tour of Bennu’s remarkable terrain. When NASA's OSIRIS-REx Asteroid Sample Return Mission arrived at asteroid Bennu in December 2018, its close-up images confirmed what mission planners had predicted nearly two decades before

• Asteroid Bennu Full Rotation • • This series of images taken by the OSIRIS-REx spacecraft shows asteroid Bennu in one full rotation from about 50 miles (80 km). The spacecraft’s PolyCam camera obtained the thirty-six 2.2-millisecond frames over a period of four hours and 18 minutes. •• Credit: NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center/University Of Arizona | Astronomy Nation

NASA updates the odds of asteroid Bennu hitting Earth

Bennu, an ancient and rocky near-Earth asteroid about 550 yards (about 500 meters) wide. Asteroids like Bennu are made of material from the earliest days of the solar system. When NASA’s OSIRIS-REx spacecraft arrived at asteroid Bennu in December 2018, its close-up images confirmed what mission planners had predicted nearly two decades before: Bennu is made of loose material weakly clumped together by gravity, and shaped like a spinning top. This major validation, however, was accompanied by a m

“A journey of a billion miles to asteroid Bennu and back.” A Nasa probe, which has gathered dust and rocky fragments from an asteroid called Bennu, has safely landed on Earth. It’s hoped the material could tell the US space agency how life began on our planet. BBC News #BBCNews #Bennu #Asteroid #NASA #Space | BBC One

NASA mission touches down on asteroid Bennu: Here’s what you need to know

On the asteroid Bennu, how much you weigh depends on where you are

Our first asteroid sample return mission, OSIRIS-REx, will launch Thursday to venture to near-Earth asteroid Bennu. The mission seeks to discover clues about the unique resources asteroids hold, processes that affect their orbital paths, and the origins of life in the solar system. | NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration

Five hundred million years after the sun was born, Jupiter’s massive gravity disrupts countless asteroids and comets. These hammer down on the inner planets. Did this impact deliver water and organics? The key ingredients to life? The Origins Spectral Interpretation Resource Identification Security -- Regolith Explorer spacecraft (OSIRIS-REx) will travel to a near-Earth asteroid, called Bennu, and bring a sample back to Earth for study. The mission will help scientists investigate how planets fo
