NASA finally opened the Space Capsule
containing the largest asteroid sample
ever collected by a space mission the
sample came from benu a potentially
hazardous asteroid that's like a time
capsule from the early solar system on
26th September 20123 scientists at
NASA's Johnson Space Center in Houston
opened the lid on the sample return
canister from the Osiris Rex Mission
which had returned to Earth 2 days
earlier with a sample from the asteroid
as the lid was lifted scientists gasped
at what they saw a layer of black dust
and debris on the avionics deck of the
canister also the sample weighed 100 G
more than what was collected at benu
this was unexpected as the sample was
safely stored in a sealed container all
along the way so how did this happen in
the first place what's the source of the
unexpected black dust on the avionics
deck of the canister finally and most
importantly what do scientists expect to
find in the detailed analysis of the
largest asteroid sample that has ever
returned to
Earth .
