"OSIRIS-REx Probe Successfully Returns Largest Asteroid Sample to Earth"

The European Space Agency's Optical Ground Station telescope captured a pixelated image of NASA's OSIRIS-REx probe, which is carrying asteroid samples back to Earth. The photo was taken when the spacecraft was 2.9 million miles away from Earth. OSIRIS-REx is scheduled to release its sample capsule on Sunday, which will then be transported to NASA's Johnson Space Center for analysis. The spacecraft will continue its mission to study the potentially hazardous asteroid Apophis in 2029.
