An article published in the journal "Meteoritics & Planetary Science" reports the results of the preliminary analysis of the samples of material from asteroid Bennu brought back to Earth by NASA's OSIRIS-REx space probe. A team of researchers conducted morphological and chemical analyzes of the samples, finding a lot of carbon and nitrogen together with organic compounds, all very important components for life forms of the Earth's type.

NASA’s Bennu Asteroid Sample

More carbon than expected and an abundance of water were found in the 4.5-billion-year-old asteroid sample returned to Earth by OSIRIS-REx. The two combined could mean that the building blocks for life on Earth might be locked in these rocks.

[Image ID: There are three images. The first one is similar to a title card and shows a screenshot froom the show supernatural. Dean and Castiel stand facing each other. The screenshot is faded and superimposed with a blue background from a news show. In the front is a logo which says 'Destiel News Channel'. The second is a screenshot of Castiel from the same confession scene. At the bottom is a headline which reads 'traces of water and carbon found in an asteroid' and a subline which says 'Guess you could get a carbonated beverage on Bennu!'. The third image is a screenshot of Dean from the same scene edited so that a text looking like subtitles spells out 'I love you'. /End ID]

So, I was reading this National Geographic special-themed number about Space and there was a section about Brian May. I'm a really long time fan of everything concerning Space, but I've "discovered" the Queen only quite recently (due to Good Omens), so I've found it oddly out of context: what could possibly link the band with the Universe?

This is how I've discovered that Brian is not only in love with astronomy since he was young, bulding his own telescope, but he even studied the interplanetary dust for a PhD (in particular how the light is reflected by it, a very interesting phenomenon if you want to search about). He is now working with the OSIRIS-REx team of NASA in the mission on the asteroid Bennu. The article reported also a pic from one of their concerts, where he performs on an asteroid surrounded by planets.

Maybe this doesn't come as a news for many of you, but now I feel the connection between the songs and Crowley in the serie is even greater. I really like to find out ever more deep meanings and connections like these.

The stream commentator keep referring to it as a “creamsicle colored parachute” to the point where I’m convinced that’s the actual NASA term for it and that’s. so cute. I love scientists.

From the potential threat of asteroid 2024 YR4 to the surprising discovery of a Tesla Roadster masquerading as a space rock, this episode is filled with intriguing stories and scientific insights that will captivate your imagination. Episode Highlights: - Asteroid 2024 YR4: Discover the latest findings on asteroid 2024 YR4, which could come perilously close to Earth in 2032. Jonti explains the ongoing observations and calculations that are helping astronomers refine its orbit and assess the potential threat it poses. - Not an Asteroid: A new discovery reveals that a supposed asteroid was actually Elon Musk's Tesla Roadster launched into space. Andrew and Jonti discuss the implications of misidentifying space debris and the need for better tracking of objects in our solar system. - Osiris Rex Mission Insights: Learn about the groundbreaking results from NASA's Osiris Rex mission, which brought back samples from the asteroid Bennu. The findings suggest that asteroids like Bennu could have delivered essential building blocks for life on Earth, including amino acids and nucleobases. - Solar System Dynamics: Jonti discusses a new study exploring how a rogue planet may have disrupted the orbits of our solar system's planets, providing insight into the unique characteristics of our planetary system compared to others.

After a seven-year wait, NASA scientists on Tuesday finally pried open a space probe carrying the largest asteroid samples ever brought back to Earth, finding black debris.

We're going to get a physical sample of an asteroid returned to the Earth this Sunday, September 24, 2023.

Asteroids! Woohoo!

I'm going to be honest, I don't like the first piece I drew of Bennu with Osiris Rex. The eye and hand is weird, the hair looks bad, etc. Just something to live with, I guess.

OSIRIS-REx Sample Return

The sample return capsule from NASA’s OSIRIS-REx mission is seen shortly after touching down in the desert, Sunday, Sept. 24, 2023, at the Department of Defense's Utah Test and Training Range. The sample was collected from the asteroid Bennu in October 2020 by NASA’s OSIRIS-REx spacecraft.

A little while ago, the samples taken from the asteroid Bennu brought back to Earth by NASA's OSIRIS-REx space probe were collected by the American space agency's crew in the area of their landing, at the Utah Test and Training Range. They will be transported to the Johnson Space Center, the first stage of a series of operations needed to process them while avoiding their contamination. In this study, NASA is collaborating with the Japanese space agency JAXA, which will receive some of the samples to compare them with those collected by its own Hayabusa 2 space probe on the asteroid Ryugu and returned to Earth in December 2020.

It has been worth the wait: NASA gave the public a first look today at what’s inside the sample return capsule, newly arrived from the small carbonaceous asteroid 101955 Bennu. The sample represents the largest collection of asteroid material to date, and it will offer researchers a first-hand look at pristine material from the primordial solar system. Today's reveal previews some of the science that's in store.
