Processing Bennu sample at NASA Johnson Space Center, USA. Astromaterials processors use tools to collect asteroid particles from the base of the OSIRIS-REx science cannister. Researchers around the world will study the material collected for years to come, looking for clues about the solar system's early days and how life got its start on Earth. NASA have already discovered the samples to be rich in water and carbon. OSIRIS-REx mission. 11 October 2023. Credit: NASA / Alamy Live News via Digitaleye
