Surprise – Again! Asteroid Bennu Reveals its Surface is Like a Plastic Ball Pit - NASA

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

What NASA Found Inside the Bennu Asteroid Sample?

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

• 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

A cup of Asteriod Bennu debris will tell NASA how our solar system was born

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.

NASA's Bennu sample reveals a rocky surprise that's changing how we see early solar system history

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
