Researchers are unlocking secrets of our solar system by analyzing asteroid Bennu samples, some of the most pristine ever ...

A sample of dust and rocks from an asteroid just took us closer to an answer. Collected from Bennu, a space rock shaped like a spinning top, as it soared by Earth roughly five years ago, the samples ...

Bennu, a rocky object classified as a near-Earth asteroid, has a one-in-2,700 chance of colliding with the Earth in September 2182, new research has discovered. The IBS Center for Climate Physics ...

Scientists have confirmed the presence of organic molecules on the surface of the near-Earth asteroid Bennu, opening the door to the possibility that life on Earth arose from cosmic origins.

Scientists can be sadistic people at times. Now, they’ve simulated what will happen to us all if Bennu, a hill-sized piece of space rock, indeed does end up colliding with Earth. You’ve ...

Researchers have now published two complementary papers describing the inorganic and organic composition of small portions of the Bennu sample ( Nature 2025, DOI: 10.1038 /s41586-024-08495-6 ; Nat.

2023, NASA’s OSIRIS-REx mission provided support for this theory of the origins of life. The mission returned 121.6 grams of a sample of an asteroid, called Bennu, to Earth. This is the largest ...
