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

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

When the OSIRIS-REx spacecraft collected a sample of near-Earth asteroid Bennu, it revealed surprising details about Bennu’s loosely packed surface. The spacecraft’s arm sank almost half a metre into the asteroid, far deeper than expected, confirming that Bennu’s surface is incredibly weak. 🪨 During the event, OSIRIS-REx collected a handful of material and kicked up roughly six tons of loose rock. It will return its sample of Bennu to Earth in September 2023. Thanks to its contribution to the m

Big year for Bennu! Scientists studying samples of asteroid Bennu brought home by OSIRIS-REx found glucose, ribose, amino acids (which make up proteins) and nucleobases (the components of DNA & RNA). These findings show that the building blocks of life were widespread in the early solar system.

• 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

Happy International Asteroid Day! ☄️ Check out one of our favorites: asteroid Bennu. This "rubble pile" is left over from the formation of our solar system and has quite the story to tell. In 2023, our OSIRIS-REx spacecraft brought a sample of Bennu to Earth, where it's already enabling big discoveries about how we got here. Explore Bennu: | NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center
