In 2018, it arrived at Bennu, a near-Earth asteroid as wide as the Sears Tower is tall. The mission collected pieces of the asteroid and brought them back to Earth in 2023.

In mid-February, asteroid 2024 YR4 was spotted and originally believed to have a 3.1 per cent of hitting Earth in 2032. Further calculations revealed this was not the case.
