"NASA Unveils Bennu Asteroid Treasure After Months-Long Struggle"

NASA's OSIRIS-REx spacecraft successfully returned a sample from asteroid Bennu to Earth, containing primordial asteroidal material billions of years old, exceeding the targeted 60 grams. The sample, currently at NASA's Johnson Space Center, will be catalogued and made available to scientists worldwide. Initial analysis reveals high carbon concentration, potentially shedding light on the origins of life. The sample also offers an opportunity to verify spacecraft instruments and study Bennu's composition, potentially providing insights into the early Solar System and the formation of celestial bodies.
