Hi Spacecats, I'm Dr Maggie Lieu and welcome to my channel, where you can find all things space, astronomy and physics! NASA's OSIRIS-REx spacecraft successfully collected and returned samples from the asteroid Bennu, offering unprecedented insights into the early solar system. This video explores the groundbreaking findings, including the diverse range of particles (hummocky, angular, and mottled), their formation processes, and evidence of past water activity.
