The Secrets of Asteroid Dust: What NASA’s OSIRIS-REx Mission Found

In this video, we’ll take a look at the latest news and updates on the OSIRIS-REx mission, which collected samples from a near-Earth asteroid named Bennu and returned them to Earth. We’ll see what the scientists have discovered so far, why they are puzzled by some of the features of the dust, and what questions they hope to answer in the future. We’ll also see how the mission could help us understand the origin and evolution of Bennu and the Solar System, and how it could benefit the scientific, planetary, and public domains. This is a very important and exciting topic, because it could help us reveal the secrets of life on Earth and beyond.

We should have a orbital laboratory for all foreign objects to be studied and stored going through multiple quarantine procedures prior to being brought to Earth.

We don’t know what we are going to find and we know we don’t know what we are doing...

So we do things in the manner that we do know could go disastrously wrong...

It was funny how when they wanted to just touch-and-go on the asteroids surface, the satellite's little collection probe SANK into the asteroid, revealing a gravel-like consistency instead of the assumed solid mass we all thought it would be. Space is so endlessly fascinating and i wish so badly i was an astronomer.

Interesting facts about asteroid ☄️ dust

Well if he had organic matter in it it's definitely a good start on possibly life on another planet, but it definitely means organic matter, plant life.

Possibly dumb question. When a Supernova creates metals, I assumed it would be in the form of dust-sized particles, & not large rocks. But, when meteorites are found, they are usually sizable rocks of, say, Iron. What melted the iron dust into a rock-sized lump? Why Aren't all meteors & meteorites little specs of dust? Or, very losely packed balls of dust held together slightly by gravity? Why/how are they so large & also seemingly melted solid?

In the asteroids burnt stone means sawage after heavly heated and cooled residual will getting to ur earthicana ppls

They found that they need more tax dollars. Billions isn't enough for the movie productions.

Too bad they cant even get it open lmao
