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. Now, an international team of OSIRIS-REx sample ...

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 ...

The samples were taken from the near-Earth asteroid 101955 Bennu by the NASA mission OSIRIS-REx, the first U.S. attempt to retrieve and analyze samples from an asteroid.

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

The 120 g of material came from the near-Earth asteroid 101955 Bennu, which OSIRIS-REx visited in 2020. The findings “bolster the hypothesis that asteroids like Bennu could have delivered the raw ...

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

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 ...

The asteroid known as 101955 Bennu is about 490 metres wide and is on a potential collision course with our Blue Planet. There is a disturbing 1-in-1800 probability that the rock will impact the ...
