The OSIRIS-REx project involves NASA retrieving material from ancient asteroids.
On September 24, 2023, NASA's OSIRIS-REx mission achieved a historic milestone by successfully returning samples from the asteroid Bennu to Earth. Consequently, space science has advanced significantly. NASA has successfully retrieved samples from an asteroid for the first time.In 2020, the mission began when the probe went to the surface of Bennu and collected dust and other things. It made scientists very happy to hear that the samples made it back to Earth safely after a three-year trip.
Scientists eagerly anticipate examining the returned materials, since they may include crucial insights on the origins of life on Earth and within the early solar system. Asteroids like Bennu are thought to contain pure, old matter that hasn't changed much since the solar system began. They want to know more about these particles to figure out how planets formed and where the water and biological chemicals that all living things need to survive came from.
Scientists are keen to analyze the returning samples, since they may contain vital information on the beginnings of life on Earth and in the early solar system.
