The sample was collected from asteroid “101955 Bennu” by OSIRIS-REx (Origins, Spectral Interpretation, Resource Identification, Security, Regolith Explorer) back in 2020.

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.

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 Bennu is a celestial body with an average diameter of about 560 meters that was discovered in 1999. It is said that it will approach Earth many times over the course of about 200 ...

There have been predictions of asteroid 101955 Bennu hitting Earth within the next 150 to 200 years. Bennu was discovered in 1999 during an asteroid survey by the Lincoln Near-Earth Asteroid Research.

In May 2021, it began its long journey back to earth, where it dropped off the capsule holding Bennu’s regolith. After this, it will reincarnate in its OSIRIS-APEX avatar, to rendezvous with the ...

NASA says an asteroid larger than the Empire State Building is heading toward Earth. But don't worry, it's not expected to arrive until the year 2182 and there's only a .05% chance it will hit our ...
