NASA's spacecraft OSIRIS-REx reached asteroid Bennu on Dec. 3, 2018. After surveying Bennu, NASA plans to collect samples and send them back to Earth.

NASA is showing off its first asteroid samples delivered by spacecraft. They come from the asteroid Bennu, almost 60 million miles away.

In September of 2016, NASA launched a spacecraft, about the size of a small car called OSIRIS-REx. Its destination, an asteroid named Bennu.

NASA launched the spacecraft OSIRIS-REx to take samples from an asteroid. Now it’s back and the space agency is going to show us what it found, likely metals.

In a dramatic 13-minute plunge back to Earth, the OSIRIS-REx sample return capsule safely landed in Utah after seven years in space.

After Sunday’s flyby, OSIRIS will head back into space to explore another asteroid, and the little sample from Bennu will head to NASA’s Johnson Space Center for study.

The OSIRIS-REx spacecraft is currently on the final leg of its journey back to Earth, with pristine samples from asteroid Bennu.

After a seven-year journey to asteroid Bennu and back, NASA's OSIRIS-REx spacecraft dropped off its sample of rocks and dirt collected from the primitive asteroid last year in the desert of Utah.
