For hundreds of millions of years, a top-shaped rubble pile called Bennu has orbited the sun in relative isolation. The asteroid, about a third of a mile wide at its equator, poses no immediate ...

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 ...

Dit hemellichaam, genaamd Bennu, nadert onze planeet elke zes jaar. Wetenschappers zijn echter van mening dat 24 september 2182 de datum zou kunnen zijn waarop er een reëel risico bestaat op een ...

Staal van asteroïde Bennu slaat wetenschappers met verstomming: “Dit hebben we nog nooit eerder gezien” De eerste analyse van het gesteente en stof dat de ruimtesonde OSIRIS-REx van NASA in ...

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 ...

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.

In 2018, NASA’s OSIRIS-REx mission reached asteroid 101955 Bennu. Two years later, the spacecraft snagged a sample of its surface, which has since been returned to Earth. Now, astronomers are ...

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 ...

Asteroid Bennu is much stranger than researchers previously thought. When the OSIRIS-REx probe arrived at asteroid Bennu, it found a body that looked and behaved quite differently from what ...

The asteroid Bennu is puzzling scientists, with samples from the space rock showing weirder properties than they expected. These include extremely high nitrogen levels and improbably magnetic ...
