Incredible moment Nasa probe lands on ‘doomsday asteroid’ Bennu to collect biggest Space sample since Apo – The Irish Sun
NASA’s OSIRIS-REX spacecraft briefly touched down on the asteroid Bennu on Tuesday evening, tagging the surface as part of a collection mission that’s been 16 years in the making.
It is hoped that the any dirt collected will help with future research into our solar system including how to potentially prevent an asteroid crashing into Earth.
