‘Potentially hazardous’ asteroid Bennu contains dust older than the solar system

Description:

New studies of samples from asteroid Bennu reveal it contains stardust older than the solar system, along with organic materials and ices from interstellar space. Collected by NASA’s OSIRIS-REx mission and returned to Earth in 2023, the samples show Bennu’s parent body likely formed beyond Jupiter and Saturn before being shattered in a violent collision and reassembled multiple times, Live Science has reported. Scientists say the findings offer rare insight into cosmic conditions before the solar system formed 4.6 billion years ago. read more: 👍 Like this video to stay updated on NASA’s stunning Bennu asteroid findings. 💬 Comment below—Do you think discoveries like this could reveal how life began? 🔗 Share this video to inspire curiosity about our cosmic origins. 💰 Support the channel by hitting the YouTube Thanks button, helping us continue covering groundbreaking space exploration. 👉 Don’t forget to subscribe for more updates on NASA missions and space science.
