Our friend OSIRIS-REx has ventured boldly to the once-mysterious asteroid Bennu. After years of snapping photos and mapping this rocky world from afar, NASA’s OSIRIS-REx spacecraft dove to Bennu’s surface and grabbed a sample of its rocks and dust as a souvenir. In September 2023, OSIRIS-REx will fly by Earth and drop the treasure from the sky. Scientists around the world will study the sample to learn about the origins of the solar system and life itself!
