NASA Reveals Initial Findings Of Bennu, An Asteroid Destined To Impact Earth Within The Next 150 Years » WhatsNew2Day
NASA is set to share images and preliminary analysis of asteroid samples collected from Bennu. The samples were collected in 2020 and recently returned to Earth. The mission brought back about eight ounces of debris, which NASA says contains building blocks from the solar system's early days and could provide insights into the origin of life on Earth. Bennu, believed to be rich in organic compounds, is considered one of the most dangerous asteroids due to its intersecting orbit with Earth. Although its chances of impacting Earth are low, NASA aims to better predict its future trajectory.
