Recently two new observatories — NASA's SPHEREx and the Vera C Rubin Observatory — released their first images.

The proposed national US budget for 2026 contains a few nasty surprises for NASA, and some serious disappointments—among them ...

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 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 ...

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 ...

In September 2023, NASA's OSIRIS-REx spacecraft dropped off a special delivery that scientists had been anticipating for nearly 3 years. Secured inside that delivery was over 120 grams of material ...

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. While ...

Rock and dust samples brought back from the near-Earth asteroid Bennu contain organic matter, including amino acids and all five DNA and RNA bases, as well as salts that formed early in the history of ...

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.

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

The particles from Bennu are a sample obtained by OSIRIS-Rex, a spacecraft of the United States National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). This analysis constitutes the second time ...
