In a recent study, scientists at the IBS Center for Climate Physics (ICCP) at Pusan National University in South Korea ...
NASA classifies Bennu as a medium-sized asteroid, measuring about one-third of a mile (500 metres) across. While far smaller ...
Researchers predict that a collision with the asteroid Bennu would plunge Earth into a year's long 'impact winter'.
Although the chances of impact are slim, Bennu is still one of the most potentially hazardous known asteroids in our solar ...
Samples of asteroid Bennu contain molecules that suggest the "conditions necessary for life" were widespread across the early ...
Studies of asteroid Bennu delivered to Earth by NASA’s OSIRIS-REx spacecraft have revealed molecules that, on our planet, are key to life.
The planet that the asteroid was once a part of contained a salty ocean. Scientists found 11 minerals in the samples, but more importantly, they found 14 out of 20 key building blocks for life -- at ...
The sample analysis detected 14 out of the 20 amino acids used by life on Earth to create proteins, as well as all five nucleobases essential ...
New insights from NASA's OSIRIS-REx mission have unveiled intriguing clues about the potential origins of life on Earth. The mission, which launched in Septembe ...
