NASA's OSIRIS-REx Unveils Bennu's Ancient Ingredients

NASA's OSIRIS-REx mission has returned a sample from asteroid Bennu, revealing it contains key materials from the early solar system, including carbon, nitrogen, and organic compounds. The sample also shows signs of a watery past, suggesting Bennu may have originated from a primitive ocean world. This discovery provides valuable insights into the conditions of the early solar system and the potential origins of life on Earth.
