TL;DR Summary

NASA's OSIRIS-REx spacecraft successfully brought back samples from asteroid Bennu after a seven-year mission, with high-resolution photos of the materials now revealed. The spacecraft collected material from the asteroid's surface and delivered it to Earth in a Utah desert site. The samples will be studied at the Johnson Space Center in Houston, and the curation team will release a catalog of all samples later this year for global scientific research. OSIRIS-REx will now embark on an extended mission to study another near-Earth asteroid, Apophis.
