And it could make even bigger news next century. Potentially hazardous near-Earth asteroid Bennu, the subject of NASA's OSIRIS-REx mission that's set to return to to Earth Sunday morning ...

Samples of matter returned from the asteroid Bennu support the theory that asteroids could have brought the building blocks of life to Earth, scientists report in a pair of new studies published ...

Scientists analyzing samples from asteroid Bennu have found something remarkable: Despite being a cold, lifeless rubble pile ...

An early analysis of a sample collected from the asteroid Bennu suggests that the space rock had an unexpectedly water-rich past — and it may have even splintered off from an ancient ocean world.

Rocks and soil collected from the asteroid Bennu and brought back to Earth last month by NASA's OSIRIS-REx probe are rich in carbon and contain water-bearing clay minerals that date back to the ...

Nearly 60 years later, NASA’s OSIRIS-REx mission returned from space with a sample of an asteroid named Bennu, similar to the one that rained rocks over Revelstoke. Our research team has ...

They’re the building rocks of life. Analysis of debris from the nearly 5 billion-year-old asteroid Bennu suggests the ingredients to life on Earth were present in the early days of our solar ...

Scientists have discovered that the asteroid Bennu contains the chemical ingredients of life, supporting the theory of their cosmic origin. The asteroid Bennu, studied by scientists, has been ...

The asteroid Bennu is a scientific gem, but a potentially dangerous one: No other space rock has a higher known probability of hitting Earth in the next 200 years. NASA's OSIRIS-REx asteroid ...

Asteroid Bennu is a primordial goldmine of secrets. A relic from our early solar system, it may hold molecular precursors to the origin of life. Bennu's orbit takes it close to the Earth every six ...

Huge landslides on the asteroid Bennu and other, similar space rocks may have been far more important to their evolution than researchers previously realised. They may have given these asteroids ...
