NASA’s OSIRIS-REx mission returned 121.6g of asteroid Bennu, revealing water minerals and DNA building blocks.
This suggests Earth’s life-sustaining ingredients arrived from space 4.5 billion years ago

At the #AAS247 Fred Kavli Plenary Lecture, Dr. Daniella “Dani” Mendoza DellaGiustina of the University of Arizona shared new insights from OSIRIS-REx, including what Bennu’s samples are revealing about the early Solar System.
A great start to the meeting!

It's now looking much more likely we'll find life elsewhere in our solar system, like on Mars, Europa, Enceladus and/or Titan.
The samples returned from asteroid Bennu contained ribose and glucose.

Hand in purple lab glove holds a cyclindric, silvery sample container with the label "PROPERTY OF NASA - OSIRIS-Rex".
Finally here! Two years after #NASA 's #OSIRIS-REx mission returned samples of #asteroid #Bennu to Earth, we have now received 319 mg to study in our labs. We are hoping to determine Bennu’s isotopic composition and learn more about its “birthplace” in the Solar System.

A cartoon image of the Osiris Rex spacecraft and asteroid bennu. Bennu has a goofy expression. Osiris Rex has a long arm extended. Text reads: “OSIRIS-REx: that time NASA decided to punch an asteroid right in its stupid face. For science!”
After trying to identify surface features on a 3D model of asteroid Bennu using a 2D map, I am of the personal opinion that we really should have punched Bennu much harder. #spaceexploration #osirisrex #osirisapex #bennu #scienceillustration
Asteroid Bennu’s Samples Reveal Stardust Older Than the Sun
NASA’s OSIRIS‑REx mission collected samples from near‑Earth asteroid Bennu in 2020, and analysis revealed presolar silicon‑carbide grains that predate the Sun. Read more: getnews.me/asteroid-bennus-samples-... #asteroidbennu #osirisrex

@jodrellbank.bsky.social Thank you and Dr Sarah Crowther for a wonderful evening learning about the #OSIRISREx asteroid sample return mission.
Always magical visiting in the evening too!

A grayscale image shows asteroid Bennu, captured by the OSIRIS-REx spacecraft. Ejecta, likely gravel and small rocks, is seen streaming away from the asteroid's surface, illustrating the unexpected discovery of ejection events on Bennu. The image highlights the mystery surrounding the ejection mechanism, with theories ranging from meteoroid impacts to thermal fracturing and water vapor release. The data suggests that larger particles fall back to the asteroid's surface while smaller particles escape its low gravity.

A composite image showing an ejection event on asteroid Bennu. The image depicts the asteroid on the left, with a trail of sun-reflecting ejecta (gravel and rocks) streaming away to the right against the dark background of space. The ejection is likely caused by impacts, thermal fracturing, or water vapor release. Data shows that while larger rocks fall back to Bennu, smaller particles escape the asteroid's low gravity.
