Asteroids are the building blocks of our solar system, and this asteroid contains the building blocks of life. Our initial analysis of the 4.5-billion-year-old rocks from asteroid Bennu delivered to Earth by #OSIRISREx shows evidence of carbon and water. nasa.gov/news-release/n…

Your package has been delivered. The #OSIRISREx sample return capsule containing rock and dust collected in space from asteroid Bennu has arrived at temporary clean room in Utah. The 4.5-billion-year-old sample will soon head to @NASA_Johnson for curation and analysis.


Can't wait!

Follow along with OSIRIS-REx's journey in real time – or fast-forward to Sept. 24 and preview the sample capsule landing: eyes.nasa.gov/apps/solar-sys…

On Sept. 24, history will be made when NASA’s #OSIRISREx spacecraft delivers a 4.5 billion-year-old asteroid sample to Earth after a 7-year journey. We’re breaking down the science questions driving this daring mission and our plans for study in this #AsteroidDay thread.

It's not too late to decide to stay home for Thanksgiving. You don't have to cancel the holiday. Do a food swap with another family and Zoom! It'll save you the hassle of driving, allow you the chance to drink an extra beer.... And keep all loved ones alive for next hear


Congrats!

I’ve officially closed the Sample Return Capsule! The sample of Bennu is sealed inside and ready for our voyage back to Earth. The SRC will touch down in the Utah desert on Sep. 24, 2023. Thanks, everyone, for being a part of my journey #ToBennuAndBack

🚨Never-before-seen images from our journey #ToBennuAndBack Yesterday, @OSIRISREx captured these pics showing the spacecraft touch Bennu, press into its surface & stir up material. The team is busy analyzing what's likely to be NASA's 1st asteroid sample: go.nasa.gov/34gnGIK

Why all the interest in asteroids? They’re made of materials left over from the formation of our solar system. Asteroids are like time capsules that can let us peer deep into the distant past – and even find clues to the origins of life on Earth. More: go.nasa.gov/2LbffBY

At this time tomorrow, we’ll know if touchdown on asteroid Bennu was a success. It’s getting real 😬
