Researchers reveal giant 74-ton, 1,600-foot-wide Earth-bound asteroid Bennu is brimming with life molecules

Bennu asteroid discovery: Scientists found essential life-building molecules on asteroid Bennu. Sugars like ribose and glucose, crucial for DNA and RNA, were discovered. A new gum-like material was also identified. These findings suggest the basic ingredients for life are widespread in the universe. The discovery offers new clues about life's ...

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

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

Bennu is here! 🎉 Starting today, you can visit the museum and see a sample of the asteroid Bennu collected by the OSIRIS-REx mission more than 200 million miles away from Earth. Over the coming months, additional samples will be distributed to labs and researchers around the world seeking to answer some of science's most important questions.

Bennu–discovered in 1999–is a small, near-Earth asteroid that passes close to Earth about every six years and is estimated to be about 4.5 billion-years-old. The 4.5 billion-year-old cup of asteroid dust will help researchers better understand how Earth and life formed based on characteristics like chemical composition. Experts believe that Bennu may contain organic molecules similar to those that could have been involved with the start of life on Earth. This is the first asteroid sample collect
