A NASA mission led by the University of Arizona is at risk of cancellation, putting groundbreaking asteroid research and millions in local funding in jeopardy.

A sample from the asteroid Bennu, the subject of the 2016 OSIRIS-REx mission, and a “near-Earth asteroid,” has arrived at the Field Museum. Uncontaminated by the Earth’s atmosphere, this ...

The Field Museum is the new temporary home to a tiny piece of pristine asteroid. The fragment of the asteroid Bennu, on loan from NASA, won't be on display for visitors, but will give scientists ...

Missions that return asteroid samples bring home more than just very expensive dust. These samples can provide valuable insights for scientists and commercial interests.

NASA’s OSIRIS-REx mission traveled to the carbon-rich asteroid Bennu and sent home a small capsule containing a sample in September 2023.

The EufyMake E1 is the first personal 3D texture UV printer. Print tactile textures and full color on wood, glass, metal, mugs, and more for DIY projects.

Anker is making UV printing affordable for small businesses and makers with its E1 printer that can create faux 3D textures.

So, the OSIRIS‑REx mission ventured to the asteroid Bennu to retrieve an unaltered sample. Retrieving this sample allowed scientists to examine the asteroid’s composition in detail.

Tantalizing clues in 4-billion-year-old asteroid Bennu samples could reveal particular molecular formations that some scientists say support the workings of consciousness.

NASA’s OSIRIS-REx mission returned samples from asteroid Bennu, which showed discoveries about life and the early solar system. These findings can now provide information into the potential ...

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 ...
