Bennu passes near Earth every six years and has had three close encounters with Earth in 1999, 2005, and 2011, experts said in the ScienceDirect study. There is a 1 in 2,700, or 0.037% chance that ...

In the Bedrock format, we can rotate UVs by increments of 90° with the UV Rotation slider. While rearranging UVs with a finished or work-in-progress texture, it would be a great time-saver to be able ...

A series of images from NASA’s OSIRIS-REx mission show the spacecraft approach and touch down on asteroid Bennu’s surface, over 200 million miles away from Earth, to collect a sample on ...

A sample from the asteroid Bennu, the subject of the 2016 OSIRIS-REx mission, and a “near-Earth asteroid,” has arrived at the Field Museum. Uncontaminated by the Earth’s atmosphere, this ...

In 2018, it arrived at Bennu, a near-Earth asteroid as wide as the Sears Tower is tall. The mission collected pieces of the asteroid and brought them back to Earth in 2023.

The Field Museum is the new temporary home to a tiny piece of pristine asteroid. The fragment of the asteroid Bennu, on loan from NASA, won't be on display for visitors, but will give scientists ...

The Field Museum received a rare, pristine sample of asteroid Bennu from NASA — a "time capsule" from the early solar system, untouched for 4.6 billion years. Scientists will study the carbon ...

A space rock the color of coal and no larger than a pebble you’d shake from a shoe just arrived at the Field Museum, where scientists will spend the next two months probing this extraordinary specimen ...

Kamo'oalewa is a little funky, but that's what makes it a desirable study target. Despite its century-long co-orbital relationship with Earth, the asteroid isn't gravitationally bound to our ...
