TL;DR Summary

NASA's OSIRIS-REx probe, which recently collected samples from the asteroid Bennu, has discovered strange organic material with a "cauliflower-like texture" and properties that make it cling to everything it touches. The initial findings reveal carbon and other organic compounds, suggesting remnants from the early solar system. However, the probe's contents have not been fully examined yet, as some leaked during the journey back to Earth. Scientists are eager to investigate the material further to understand its nature and potential connection to life on Earth.
