| Asteroid NASA’s OSIRIS-REx mission landed on had a surface like a ‘pit of plastic bal Nearly two years ago, NASA made history when its OSIRIS-REx spacecraft briefly “tagged” 101955 Bennu to collect a regolith sample from the surface of the asteroid. While the mission won’t return to Earth until late next year, NASA shared new information about the celestial body. In an update published this week (via Mashable), the agency revealed OSIRIS-REx would have sunk into Bennu had the spacecraft not immediately fired its thrusters after touching the asteroid's surface. https://www.engadget.com/nasa-osiris...6.html?src=rss |
