Science News: NASA's OSIRIS-REx spacecraft, which recently successfully deposited a sample of asteroid Bennu in the Utah desert, is struggling to open the canister
NASA’s OSIRIS-REx, the first US mission to collect a sample from an asteroid, delivered rocks and dust from asteroid Bennu to Earth on September 24.
NASA is set to reveal on Wednesday the first images of the largest asteroid sample ever collected in space, something scientists hope will yield clues about the earliest days of our solar system and perhaps the origins of life itself. OSIRIS-REx wasn't the first mission to rendezvous with an asteroid and bring back samples for study -- Japan succeeded in the feat twice, returning bits of space pebbles in 2010 and 2020.
NASA recently landed a capsule on Earth containing samples from asteroid billions of miles away, and now scientists have finally opened it.
