- Early analysis of the asteroid Bennu sample returned by NASA’s OSIRIS-REx mission hints that the asteroid could have splintered off from an ancient, small, primitive ocean world https://www.nasa.gov/missions/osiris-rex/surprising-phosphate-finding-in-nasas-osiris-rex-asteroid-sample/ 9 comments science
- The first up close observations of an "activated asteroid" are made, as scientists on the OSIRIS-REx mission observe ejection events launching particle plumes from Bennu's surface. https://www.asteroidmission.org/?latest-news=nasa-mission-reveals-asteroid-big-surprises 18 comments space
- Scientists peer inside an asteroid: New findings from NASA’s OSIRIS-REx mission suggest that the interior of the asteroid Bennu could be weaker and less dense than its outer layers—like a crème-filled chocolate egg flying though space. https://www.colorado.edu/today/2020/10/08/scientists-peer-inside-asteroid 3 comments space
- Asteroid Bennu ejected about a dozen bursts of high-speed particles from its surface since NASA's OSIRIS-Rex mission reached the porous blue rock late last year. http://www.astronomy.com/news/2019/03/osiris-rex-caught-asteroid-bennu-ejecting-bursts-of-strange-high-speed-particles 8 comments space
- When this post is six hours old, the OSIRIS-REx sample-return spacecraft will begin it's three-week orbital insertion maneuver around the Near-Earth asteroid Bennu! • Watch live on NASA TV at 11:45am ET and follow the mission on r/osirisrex! https://www.asteroidmission.org/orex-arrival-5-days-carousel/ 5 comments space
